Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Together, the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule are called the renal corpuscle. The combination of these structures is not identified as the capsule, the medulla, or the pyramid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Mechanical ventilation can result in a proinflammatory state that may contribute to the develop-ment of chronic lung disease, such as BPD but not bronchiolitis or pneumonia. Respiratory dis-tress might have led to the intubation, but BPD is the diagnosis.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
