Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Zinc is absorbed in the intestines and can be retained in the intestinal cells by metallothionein. When the body requires zinc, the metallothionein releases the zinc, which binds to albumin for transport throughout the body. Zinc largely ends up in the pancreas to make digestive enzymes, which are then returned to the intestines during digestion, and the zinc is then reabsorbed for reuse. When the body does not require zinc, zinc absorption decreases, and zinc is shed from the intestinal cells for excretion.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
