Answer to Question 1

2, 5
Thin, fragile, inelastic skin that has the loss of subcutaneous tissue is the result of normal aging. Skin that has aged as a result of sun damage exhibits a thickened, wrinkled, yellow appearance. It may also have telangiectasias, lentigo, or seborrheic keratosis.

Answer to Question 2

3
The prostate-specific antigen is used to test for both benign and malignant diseases of the prostate. A PSA reading of 4 nanograms and below is considered normal.
