Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Plasma hemoglobin can be detected when the concentration of hemoglobin is greater than 50 mg/dL. Free hemoglobin is seen in plasma, giving it its red color when excessive intravascular hemolysis exists. Both haptoglobin and hemopexin will be decreased as an attempt to salvage iron occurs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Bacteria in the gut oxidize conjugated bilirubin into various water-soluble compounds that together are called urobilinogen. A small amount of this is normally reabsorbed into the plasma and because of its water solubility will be filtered by the renal glomerulus and excreted into urine.

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.
