Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The O'Beirne sphincter controls the movement of wastes from the sigmoid colon into the rectum. None of the other options performs this function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ileogastric reflex, not the gastroduodenal, inhibits gastric motility when the ileum becomes distended. The gastroileal reflex, which is activated by an increase in gastric motility and secre-tion, stimulates an increase in ileal motility and relaxation of the ileocecal valve (sphincter). The gastrocolic reflex initiates propulsion in the entire colon, usually during or immediately after eat-ing, when chyme enters from the ileum.

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.
