Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Prolonged use of high doses may cause potentially life-threatening conditions, placing the patient at risk of death. Conditions such as peliosis hepatis, hepatic neoplasms, and hepatocellular carcinoma are often seen with high-dose street use of these drugs. Renal stones, cirrhosis, and malignant hyperthermia are not associated with the use of anabolic steroids.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nephron widens at the distal convoluted tubule, then flows into the collecting ducts, which meet at the renal pelves. The collecting ducts do not meet in the loop of Henle, Bowman's capsule, or distal convoluted tubule.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
