Answer to Question 1

2
Immunoglobulin G is the most abundant immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin A is the second most abundant immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin M causes the formation of natural antibodies. Immunoglobulin E is involved in inflammation and allergic responses.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
In diverticulitis, there may be a chronic asymptomatic condition two-thirds of the time. If there are manifestations, they would likely be constipation or diarrhea, lower abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant, and low-grade fever. Increased excitability, changes in level of consciousness, and thirst are not clinical manifestations of diverticulitis.
