Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The contraction of skeletal muscle tissue can be characterized as the sliding action of myosin and actin. Epimysium surrounds and plays a supportive role in the skeletal muscle, and perimysium similarly provides support but does not actively produce locomotion. Myofibrils are found within fascicles, not the opposite.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Interventions aimed at slowing the course of an already-diagnosed disease characterize tertiary prevention.
