Answer to Question 1

B
Mittelschmerz is a pain in either lower quadrant associated with ovulation. There is no stretching of the round ligaments during the midcycle period. Premenstrual uterine changes do not produce discomfort.

B
Mucus traps particles and bacteria that may be in the inspired air.
