Answer to Question 1

D
Major factors that increase the cost of health care include an oversupply of specialized providers, a surplus of hospital beds, the passive role assumed by most consumers, inequitable financing of services, and very expensive technological advances in health care.

Answer to Question 2

B
When the body's circulatory needs change, the heart rate either accelerates or decelerates. This is a compensatory mechanism under the control of the cardiac centers that are located in the medulla of the brain stem.
