Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B, D

Feedback:

The hilus is the point of nerve and blood input and urine output for each kidney, and each kidney is composed of up to 18 lobes. The kidneys are outside the peritoneal cavity, and glomeruli exist in the outer cortex. Each nephron contains just one glomerulus.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The efficacy of over-the-counter cold remedies is minimal, and all have a risk of unwanted side effects; rest and antipyretics are normally sufficient since cold viruses are normally self-limiting. No cold-causing virus will respond to antibiotics, and most colds are spread by the fingers. There is no one specific virus that causes the common cold, and numerous different viruses cause similar symptoms.
