Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The basal lamina is found where connective tissue is in contact with the tissue that it provides support for. It is produced by epithelial cells and is found on Schwann cells, adipose tissue, and other sites apart from muscle fibers. It is not synonymous with the basement membrane, which consists of the combination of basal lamina and the reticular layer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Emotional abuse or psychological maltreatment includes methods of verbal abuse, shaming, destruction of child's personal property, harming or killing child's pet, and bullying.

It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs.
