this practice question, it says, fill in the blanks. So for the first one, we need a surgical procedure for removing wrinkles. So otherwise, known as a face lift. Here we're going to say wrinkles is our key, and wrinkles is connected to rhitido. And then we need a surgical procedure. So we're gonna say here, dectomy would be a good, thing to stick in here. Exoheorectomy, so rhitoidectomy will be our term for a face lift. Cancerous tumor of basal cell layer. So we're talking about our basal cell layer, so we're gonna say basal to start it off to tell us, what body structure is involved. And then we have a cancerous tumor. So cancer is carcinoma, and then we need a tumor, so that's oma. So that just becomes carcinoma, so basal carcinoma. Next, we need dry skin. We'll say that our combining form of Excero is dry, and then skin is derma. Exeroderma. Pigment producing cell. Alright. So here we have melano. Melano, which is talking about definition is black we know that melanin is involved in different pigmentations of humans. So melano, and it's producing cell. So melano, and then remember, a cell, a mature cell that's producing is acyte. So that would be melanocyte. That will be our final answer.
