  1. The answer is the third one: procedure of cutting and making a mouth-like opening in the ear drum.

Explanation:

  • "Tympanostomy" is derived from "tympano," referring to the tympanic membrane or eardrum, and "stomy," meaning creating an opening. Therefore, it refers to a procedure involving the eardrum.
  • The first option is incorrect because it refers to the epiglottis, not the eardrum.
  • The second option is incorrect because it describes a recording of respiratory rates, which is unrelated to tympanostomy.
  • The fourth option is incorrect because it involves removing tumors from the lungs, which is not related to the eardrum.
  1. A defibrillator is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, specifically life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
