Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Scars are often smaller than the original area of the wound. There is nearly always an accompanying loss of strength and elasticity, and remodeling can take over 6 months.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Lymphocytes and macrophages move slowly through the lymph nodes so that they can have adequate time to engulf microorganisms and interact with circulating antigens. The lymph nodes do not bring cells into the node to stop germs; do not bring cells to the throat to wall off strep; and do not enlarge the tonsil with immune cells.
