Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Closure of the semilunar valves generates the second heart sound.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Toward the end of systole, as repolarization starts (indicated by the T wave), the ventricles begin to relax. Consequently, ventricular pressures drop rapidly. When arterial pressures exceed those in the relaxing ventricles, the semilunar valves shut.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
