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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
