Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

While macrophages, T cells, fibroblasts, and mast cells are all present in the dermis, lymph nodes are not noted to be present in this layer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

Pain and difficulty in walking commonly accompany Legg-Calv-Perthes disease, in which necrosis exists in the epiphyseal growth center of the femoral head. Toe-in would not be an expected related finding, and microfractures where the patellar tendon and tibia articulate are associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
