Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The skull is considered to be a part of the axial skeleton, while the arm, hips, and pelvis are components of the appendicular skeleton.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The vaginal scrapings are used for a test, the maturation index, that examines the cellular structure and configuration of the vaginal epithelial cells. Typically, this index is 0-40-60 during the reproductive years. With diminished estrogen levels, there is a shift to the left, producing an index of 30-40-30 during the perimenopausal period, and an index of 75-25-0 occurs during the postmenopausal period.
