Answer to Question 1

B
Loop colostomies are frequently performed on an emergency basis and are temporary large stomas constructed in the transverse colon. The loop ostomy has two openings through the stoma. The proximal end drains stool, and the distal portion drains mucus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Antigravity muscles are involved with joint stabilization. Skeletal muscles support posture and carry out voluntary movement. Antagonistic muscles bring about movement at the joint. Synergistic muscles contract to accomplish the same movement. When you flex your arm, you increase the strength of the contraction of the biceps brachii by contraction of the synergistic muscle, the brachialis.
