Answer to Question 1

C
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are antihypertensive medications, or medica-tions that lower blood pressure. ACE-inhibitors block angiotensin I from converting to angioten-sin II and cause vasoconstriction. This action prevents blood pressure from increasing.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
Musculoskeletal system functions include motion, support, organ protection, and retention of body shape. The musculoskeletal system does not fight infections.
