Answer to Question 1

Increases smooth muscle tone in the gut, inhibits motility, propulsion, and lessens secretions.

Answer to Question 2

The American Heart Association recommends an optimal blood pressure of less than 120/80 . Anything above this would be considered abnormal; the higher the level, the greater the potential problem.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
