Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The somatic nervous system consists of pathways that regulate voluntary motor control, the skel-etal muscle system. The somatic nervous system does not control the heart; the autonomic nerv-ous system controls the heart, the spinal cord, and the smooth muscle organs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Carcinomas rarely occur in children because these cancers most commonly result from environ-mental carcinogens and require a long period from exposure to the appearance of the carcinoma.
