Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Systolic murmurs are produced by an incompetent atrioventricular (AV) valve or a stenotic semi-lunar valve. An incompetent AV valve allows a backflow of blood into the atrium, usually pro-ducing a high-pitched whooshing noise simultaneously with S1.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Pulmonary hypertension produces an increased intensity of S2. This sound is referred to as a loud P2 and is a result of more forceful closure of the pulmonic valve.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
