Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

An inguinal hernia is the protrusion of intestine and peritoneum into the scrotum through an incompletely sealed inguinal opening. The tunica vaginalis, occlusion of the duct system, nor testicular hypertrophy and hyperplasia contribute to the etiology.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Due to its rigidity and strength, compact bone is placed along lines of high stress in the body. Spongy bone exists in a lattice-like pattern that is lined with osteogenic cells and is relatively light compared with compact bone.
