Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The small bumps or projections on the areolar surface known as Montgomery tubercles are sebaceous glands that keep the nipple area soft and elastic. At puberty and during pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen and progesterone cause the areola and nipple to become darker and more prominent and the Montgomery glands to become more active.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Synovial fluid is responsible for lubrication. It does not perform a role in immunity or coagulation. While some diffusion takes place between the synovial fluid and adjacent structures, this is not the primary role.
