Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Venous blood is deoxygenated; arterial blood is oxygenated; capillary blood is a mixture of both arterial and venous blood, and blood from a skin puncture contains this mixture plus interstitial tissue fluid. Capillary blood is slightly more arterialized (i.e., contains slightly more arterial blood than venous blood) because the pressure in the arteries is greater.
