Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The external ear is called the auricle or pinna and consists of movable cartilage and skin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, F
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma; virtually no symptoms are exhibited. Vision loss begins with the peripheral vision, which often goes unnoticed because individuals learn to compensate intuitively by turning their heads. The other characteristics are those of closed-angle glaucoma.
