Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cryptorchidism is a group of abnormalities in which the testis fails to descend completely, whereas an ectopic testis has strayed from the normal pathway of descent. Cryptorchidism is not a condition associated with either testicular overdevelopment or a lack of a scrotum.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis. Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted back over the glans. Priapism is a prolonged erection. A hydrocele is a collec-tion of fluid within the tunica vaginalis.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
