Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hereditary absence or dysfunction of an enzyme leads monocytes and macrophages to store materials that are not completely degraded. As a group, these are called storage cell diseases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The description of these cells is that of a reactive lymphocyte. They are a normal response to viral infection. Infectious mononucleosis characteristically shows a lymphocytosis with many reactive T lymphocytes. The age, symptoms, and physical findings also support infectious mononucleosis.
