Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Feedback:
Depression also may occur as a result of other, yet unknown causes. This condition may be a syndrome that reflects either activity or lack of activity in a number of sites in the brain, including the arousal center (i.e., RAS), the limbic system, and basal ganglia. It is not theorized that depression is associated with the corpus callosum or the substantia nigra.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Prescription drug labels will contain the brand name, generic name, drug concentration, and expiration date. Adverse effects will not be listed on drug labels.
