Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Granulation tissue indicates sufficient circulation and angiogenesis associated with healthy wound healing. Granulation tissue consists of new blood vessels, not clotted cellular components.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Booster immunizations take advantage of the increase in antibodies that accompanies a repeat exposure. The primary immune response cannot be repeated, and antibodies survive beyond several months. Antigen receptors on CD4+ cells do not require multiple exposures.
