Answer to Question 1

A
People experience maturational losses as they go through a lifetime of normal developmental processes. When a child goes to school for the first time, she will spend less time with her parent and the parent-child relationship changes. Acknowledging and grieving maturational losses help a person cope with the change.

Answer to Question 2

A
The lungs assist with ventilation, the movement of air in and out of the lungs, and diffusion, the movement of gases between air spaces and the bloodstream. Respiration is the exchange of oxy-gen and carbon dioxide during cellular metabolism. The heart supports perfusion, the movement of blood into and out of the lungs to the body's organs and tissues.
