Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Atherosclerosis is the most common arterial disease. A disruption of the endothelial intima can cause the platelets to accumulate around that area and form plaque or a thrombus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The portacaval shunt relieves hypertension by bypassing the obstruction and diverting the return flow of blood to the liver from the portal vein, thus decompressing esophageal varices.
