Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In the female, the urethra is a very short tube that leads from the bladder to an area populated by normal bacterial flora including Escherichia coli, which can cause frequent bladder infections or cystitis. Recurrent UTIs do not indicate the woman has multiple sexual partners, takes too many bubble baths, or does not clean herself adequately.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Control of bladder emptying is learned control over the urethral sphincter. Once it is established, a functioning nervous system is necessary to maintain control.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
