Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Malignant blood diseases or chronic infection may be indicated in the overproduction of gamma globulins. In infectious diseases, the invading microorganisms are stronger than the immune system antibodies. In immunosuppression, the immune system function is depressed, perhaps because of disease, injury, shock radiation, or drugs. Anaphylaxis is a severe immune response to an invading antigen.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Angioma, also called a birthmark, is a nonmalignant vascular skin tumor that involves the underlying tissues and blood vessels. Other nonmalignant tumors of the skin include warts, keloids, cysts, and nevi. Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma are malignant tumors of the skin. Varicose veins and ecchymosis (bruising) are under the skin. A ganglion is also under the skin and a bundle of nerve fibers.
