Answer to Question 1

thermogenesis
Brown fat is located in superficial deposits in the interscapular region and axillae, as well
as in deep deposits at the thoracic inlet, along the vertebral column and around the kidneys.
Brown fat has a richer vascular and nerve supply than ordinary fat. Heat produced by
intense lipid metabolic activity in brown fat can warm the newborn by increasing heat
production by as much as 100.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A A pessary is not used for the patient with a cystocele.
B A fitted pessary may be inserted into the vagina to support the uterus and hold it
in the correct position.
C A rectocele cannot be corrected by the use of a pessary.
D It is unlikely that a pessary be the most effective treatment for stress
incontinence.
