Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The symptoms of loose bodies are painful catching and locking of the joint. The loose body repeatedly gets caught in the crevice of a joint, pinching the underlying healthy cartilage. A tear of her ligament, a hematoma, or a lack of articulation is not as closely associated with the presence of loose bodies in a joint.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Merkel cells and Langerhans cells are components of the epidermis. Bleeding may be minimal since the epidermis is avascular. Subcutaneous tissue is below the dermis and would not be directly exposed, and hair follicle roots exist at a deeper level than the epidermis.
