  C) A balance between production and drainage of aqueous humor
  D) Two-way interaction between the medulla oblongata and the eye

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Normally, production and drainage of aqueous humor are approximately equal, and the intraocular pressure (IOP) is normal. IOP is not dependent of tear production, baroreceptors in the eye, or stimulation from the medulla.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Use of multiple drugs to treat TB is necessary to prevent the development of drug-resistant TB. This approach to treatment is not necessitated by delays in testing, questionable diagnostic results, or the need to hasten the course of treatment.
