Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The hepaticportal circulation is unique because it begins and ends with capillaries. The hepaticportal circulation is a subdivision of systemic circulation. It is an efficient detour in venous return, directed at transporting raw materials from the digestive organs and spleen to the liver. The capillaries from the stomach, intestine, spleen, and pancreas empty into veins.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Maslow's theory on the wellnessillness continuum states that if people find their needs blocked or threatened, they move toward the illness end of the continuum. If their basic needs are satisfied and they move toward self-actualization, they move toward the wellness end. The body adapts and changes to maintain homeostasis. High-level wellness is optimum health.
