Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The forced vital capacity is the most commonly performed test of pulmonary mechanics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A diagnostic spirometer that measures flow should be at least 95 accurate (or within 0.2 L/sec, whichever is greater) over the entire 0 to 14 L/sec range of gas flow.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
