• B. 50 ml
• C. 5 ml

2. What is the least common multiple? What is the least common factor?

• A. The smallest number that both numbers multiply into; the smallest number that divides evenly into both
• B. The largest number that both numbers multiply into; the smallest number that divides evenly into both
• C. The smallest number that both numbers divide into evenly; the smallest number that multiplies into both
• D. The smallest number that both numbers divide into evenly; the smallest number that both multiply into

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The least common multiple is the smallest number that both numbers multiply into, which means it is the smallest number that both numbers can be evenly divided by without leaving a remainder. The least common factor, on the other hand, is the smallest number that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder. Therefore, choice A is correct as it accurately defines the least common multiple and factor. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they provide inaccurate definitions or mix up the concepts of multiplication and division in relation to finding the least common multiple and factor.

3. Which of the following terms means close to the trunk of the body?

• A. Superficial
• B. Sagittal
• C. Proximal
• D. Distal

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'proximal' means situated close to the point of attachment or the center of the body, such as close to the trunk. In anatomical terms, proximal is used to describe locations that are closer to the body's center or point of reference. 'Superficial' refers to something situated near the surface, 'sagittal' refers to a plane that divides the body into left and right portions, and 'distal' refers to a position away from the center or point of reference. Therefore, 'proximal' is the correct term to indicate a position close to the trunk of the body.

4. Which of the following terms describes the enlargement of an organ or tissue?

• A. Dystrophy
• B. Atrophy

• D. Eutrophy

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of an organ or tissue, typically due to an increase in the size of individual cells. This can occur in response to increased workload, hormonal stimulation, or other factors. On the other hand, dystrophy refers to the degeneration and deterioration of tissue, atrophy describes the decrease in the size of an organ or tissue, and eutrophy denotes a state of normal nutrition or growth. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Hypertrophy' as it specifically relates to the increase in size or volume of an organ or tissue.
