Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The submandibular glands can become inflammed and develop stones in a condition called sialolithiasis. Often these patients have a history of recurrent sialadenitis, and the stones are composed of calcium phosphate as a result of the pH of the saliva.

ANS: C
Parotid gland inflammation can occur with paramyxovirus infection, also called mumps. There is swelling of the preauricular regions of the face.
