Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are two principal types of epidemiology: (1) analytic epidemiology and (2) descriptive epidemiology. Descriptive epidemiology describes the amount and distribution of disease, which may suggest possible causes. These causes can then be confirmed or corrected through more advanced methods of research.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
The prevalence of underage drinking declined significantly when states enacted the minimum legal drinking age of 21 years. The states with more stringent drinking laws have a lower prevalence of binge drinking. Enforcement of the legal drinking age, as well as enforcement of bans on sales of alcohol to minors, helps prevent underage drinking, as have increased excise taxes on alcoholic beverages.

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).
