Answer to Question 1

B
Vesicular sounds are soft, breezy, and low-pitched and are heard longer on inspiration than expiration. Bronchovesicular sounds are medium-pitched blowing sounds heard equally on inspiration and expiration from air moving through the large airways. Bronchial sounds are loud high-pitched sounds with a hollow quality heard longer on expiration that inspiration from air moving through the trachea. Adventitious breath sounds are breath sounds that are not normal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Ludwig von Bartlaffny developed the General Systems Theory in which he proposed that a system is greater than the sum of all of its parts.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
