Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

One of the characteristics resulting from the proliferating osteoclasts in multiple myeloma is the unregulated production of a monoclonal antibody referred to as the M protein. In most cases, the M protein is either IgG or IgA. This phenomenon is not present in cases of CML, ALL, or Hodgkin lymphoma.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

There is a large variation between the higher pressure in the systemic circulatory system and arteries and the lower pressure in the pulmonary system and veins. Approximately 8 of the blood supply is in the heart at any given time. Blood pressure and blood volume are inversely proportionate. The body is able to accommodate short-term differences in left-sided and right-sided output.
