8. A 9-year-old boy with a peanut allergy was exposed to peanuts. He
presents to the emergency room with an anaphylactic reaction. (1)
What symptoms might he present with? (2) Does the quantity of
exposure mean he will have a more severe reaction? (3) What is the
initial immediate treatment? (4) What are 2 things people with
anaphylaxis should always carry?
9. True/False: Following a heart attack, the area of heart muscle that has
undergone necrosis because of lack of blood supply will heal by scar
tissue replacement.
10. Which of the following is an incorrect pairing of a classic
manifestation of acute inflammation with its corresponding cause?
a. Rubor - vasodilation

host tissues.
