Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clinical manifestations of anxiety include overactivity of the autonomic nervous system, such as dyspnea, palpitations, tachycardia, sweating, dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. Somatotropin is not directly involved, and the adrenal cortex is not suppressed during times of anxiety. The parasympathetic nervous system is not stimulated during times of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The hepatitis B series produces passive immunity. Passive immunity occurs when antibodies are formed by the immune system of another person or animal and transferred to the host. Active immunity is produced by the person's own immune system in response to a disease caused by a specific antigen or administration of an antigen from a source outside the body, usually by injection. Innate or natural immunity, which is not produced by the immune system, includes the general protective mechanisms.
