  C)
  This bone is hollowed out, and the inside of the shaft produces marrow where red blood cells are formed.
  D)

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Long bones usually are narrow in the mid-portion and broad at the ends so that the weight they bear can be distributed over a wider surface. The shaft of a long bone is formed mainly of compact bone roughly hollowed out to form a marrow-filled medullary canal. The edema and bruising following femur fracture are due primarily to disruption of the shaft of the bone. Cartilage attaches at the end of long bones, not the shaft.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B, D

Feedback:

The HPV vaccine has decreased the risk of cervical cancer by 97. Gardisil is one type of HPV vaccine to prevent infection with the HPV subtypes 16, 18, 9, and 11. This vaccine has been approved for girls and boys between 9 and 26 years of age (prior to becoming sexually active) to prevent HPV 6 and 11 genital warts. The vaccine targets the two strains of HPV (16 and 18) responsible for 70 of the cervical cancer. There is no treatment that is 100 effective against cervical cancer.
