Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Acetylcholinesteras e inhibitors intensify the effect of acetylcholine at the receptor. They do not increase acetylcholine synthesis or enzymatic breakdown. Currently no drugs can reverse the structural damages associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles that most likely occur from chronic inflammation or oxidative cellular damage.
