Answer to Question 1

C
Any surgery that involves direct manipulation of the bowel temporarily stops peristalsis. This condition, called paralytic ileus, usually lasts about 24 to 48 hours.
Colitis is inflammation of the colon. It is not a result of anaesthetic used during surgery.
Stomatitis is inflammation of the mouth. It is not caused by anaesthetic used during surgery.
The gastrocolic reflex is the peristaltic wave in the colon induced by entrance of food into the stomach. It is not a result of anaesthetic used during surgery.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Quadriceps setting is an example of an isometric exercise.
B Gluteal muscle contraction is an example of an isometric exercise.
C Moving the arms and legs in a circle is an example of isotonic exercise.
D Resistive isometric exercises are those in which the individual contracts the muscle while pushing against a stationary object or resisting the movement of an object. An example of a resistive isometric exercise is pushing against a footboard.
