Answer to Question 1

C
The cerebellum and the inner ear control balance through the nervous system. The major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate all voluntary movement.

Answer to Question 2

C
Diarrhea is an increased frequency in the passage of loose stools. Incontinence is the inability to control the passage of urine. The Valsalva maneuver occurs when pressure is exerted to expel feces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expira-tion against a closed airway.
