Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Beta1-receptors are found in cardiac tissue where they can stimulate increased myocardial activity and increased heart rate. Alpha1-receptors are found in blood vessels, in the iris, and in the urinary bladder. Alpha2-receptors are located on nerve membranes and act as modulators of norepinephrine release. Beta1-receptors are found in smooth muscle in blood vessels, in the bronchi, in the periphery, and in uterine muscle.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Bisacodyl is a chemical stimulant. Polycarbophil and magnesium hydroxide are bulk laxatives. Docusate is a lubricant laxative.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
