Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Erythrocytes, or RBCs, are the most numerous of the blood cells. Each RBC contains hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen. WBCs fight infection. Each of the five types (basophil, eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte) has different mechanisms for this function. Platelets and numerous clotting factors must react in sequence before blood clotting can occur. Lymph tissues filter blood, destroy pathogens, and develop antibodies against antigens.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Spiritual health: Inner peace and security, comfort with one's higher power, as one perceives it. Emotional health: Feelings and attitudes that make one comfortable with oneself. Psychological or mental health: A mind that grows and adjusts, is in control, and is free of serious stress. Social health: A sense of responsibility and caring for the health and welfare of others.

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.
