Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In pancreatitis there is backup of pancreatic secretions and activation and release of enzymes (ac-tivated trypsin activates chymotrypsin, lipase, and elastase) within the pancreatic acinar cells. The enzymes become activated, triggering the resulting autodigestion, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The tissue damage associated with pancreatitis is not due to insulin toxicity or to hydro-chloric acid reflux.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Alcoholic cirrhosis is caused by the toxic effects of alcohol metabolism on the liver. Alcohol is transformed to acetaldehyde, and excessive amounts significantly alter hepatocyte function and activate hepatic stellate cells, a primary cell involved in liver fibrosis. Bile toxicity does not cause alcoholic cirrhosis. Acidosis does not cause alcoholic cirrhosis. Fatty infiltrations do not cause alcoholic cirrhosis.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
