Answer to Question 1

B
Osteoporosis causes bones to become porous and weak. Starting a weight-bearing exercise program is the most important aid in promoting bone strength and decreasing the rate of bone loss. Calcium supplementation does help maintain bone density.

Answer to Question 2

C
The appendix is a small, fingerlike appendage off the cecum. It is believed to be a vestigial organone whose significance has diminished over time; however, it is lined with lymphatic tissue and may play a role in immune function.
