Question 2

Hydrocephalus occurs when cerebrospinal fluid collects in an abnormal pattern in the brain, causing an enlargement in the ventricles.
 
  What feature of young infants helps to compensate for the increased pressure caused by the collection of the cerebrospinal fluid? 1. They are too young to perceive pain.
   2. They have open fontanels and sutures in the skull to allow for the expansion of the fluid.
   3. Infants grow quickly, so the ventricles accommodate for the fluid.

3. Infant ventricle growth does not occur fast enough to compensate for the extra fluid.
4. One answer applies.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
