Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Atrophy causes the muscle to decrease in strength and size because of disuse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Permanent changes in mobility occur when physiologic dysfunction that interferes with normal body movement cannot be reversed (e.g., spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis or cerebrovascular accidents that cause weakness or paralysis on one side of the body). Rehabilitation is the key to restoring a person with certain disabilities to optimal health.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
