Answer to Question 1

B
During the first trimester, fetal cells differentiate and develop into essential organ systems. During the second trimester most organs are complete and able to function. During the third trimester, skin thickens, lanugo disappears, and central nervous system is established.

Answer to Question 2

B
An increase of 1 F in body temperature causes a 7 increase in the metabolic rate, thereby in-creasing carbon dioxide production. The clinical response is increased rate and depth of respira-tion.
