Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The foramen ovale is an opening in the heart's septum between the right and left atria. The vascular channel between the pulmonary artery and descending aorta is the ductus arteriosus. The channel connecting the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava is the ductus venosus. The closest thing to a route connecting the heart to the extremities would be the aorta, which then leads to peripheral and cerebral circulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The ductus venosus is a vascular channel connecting the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary artery and descending aorta. The foramen ovale is an opening in the septum between the right and left atria of the heart.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
