Answer to Question 1

3, 4, 6
Analgesics, antidepressants, and muscle relaxants are medications commonly prescribed in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Antiarrhythmics, antibiotics, and calcium channel blockers are not used in the treatment of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

2
The prostate gland produces a milky alkaline fluid that helps neutralize the acidity of the male urethra and female vagina. The bulbourethral (Cowper's) gland secretes an alkaline substance that neutralizes any residual acidic urine in the urethra. The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid for the health and nutrition of sperm. The vas deferens is a duct that propels sperm into the ejaculatory duct.
