Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Exercise-induced hemoglobinuria occurs in some individuals after repeated forceful effect of the feet on hard surfaces. This also may be called March hemoglobinuria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
As red cells pass through fibrin deposits that have been abnormally formed inside the lumen of blood vessels, they are fragmented as the force of blood flow forces them through the fibrin. Red cell fragments may also be formed by turbulence of red cells as they pass over damaged endothelial cells that line the blood vessels.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
