Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
VWF is necessary for normal platelet adhesion to exposed subendothelial collagen. Calcium is a cofactor required for binding of vitamin K-dependent proteins to phospholipids. Fibrinogen is necessary for normal platelet aggregation, whereas factor XIII, in its active form, cross-links the fibrin polymer and thus stabilizes the clot.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The protein C pathway helps regulate the coagulation mechanism by digesting activated coagulation factors V and VIII. Thrombin is the activated form of prothrombin; it plays a number of roles in promoting coagulation, including the splitting of fibrinogen to form fibrin. Nitric oxide counteracts vasoconstriction.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
