This quiz is worth 20 points.

Send answers to me at fontius@siskiyous.edu. Quizzes are different than answering the assignment questions. I expect a lot more detail in your responses to these questions. Your answers need to include specific definitions of terms and/or concepts and they need to include specific examples to support your answers. In addition, some of the questions on the quiz may require looking for information outside of the textbook. Looking at other sources of health information is an important component of the quiz.
