Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The kidneys play central roles in both vitamin D activation and regulation of red blood cell production, deficiencies of which may result in osteoporosis and anemia, respectively. BPH, stroke, and infection are less likely to result from kidney disease.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Type II alveolar cells begin to develop at approximately 24 weeks. These cells produce surfactant, a substance capable of lowering the surface tension of the air-alveoli interface. By the 28th to 30th week, sufficient amounts of surfactant are available to prevent alveolar collapse when breathing begins.
