Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A polypectomy is usually performed at the same time a colonoscopy is done to remove polyps in the colon.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The many functions of the liver include forming and secreting bile, which aids digestion; transforming glucose into glycogen, which it stores; and helping to regulate blood volume. The liver is vital for the metabolic functioning of the body. It metabolizes fats, proteins, and carbohydrates; synthesizes cholesterol; excretes bilirubin; and secretes hormones.
