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.
