Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the nasopharynx. It allows fluid to drain into the nasopharynx and equalizes pressure between the outer and middle ear.
B Incorrect. The fluid-filled cochlea does not equalize pressure between the outer and middle ear. The nerve endings in the inner ear are contained in the fluid-filled cochlea which transmits sound waves to the auditory nerve in the brain.
C Incorrect. The semicircular canal in the inner ear maintains balance and body position.
D Incorrect. The tympanic membrane (eardrum) vibrates to conduct sound waves to the 3 bones in the middle ear.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
