Although many quarts of blood pass through the heart each day, the heart cannot utilize the blood within itself but rather is sustained by branches of arteries originating externally. These coronary arteries can become blocked by the deposition of fatty material (including cholesterol), connective tissue fibers, and calcium deposited in the vessel walls. If the blockage is severe, numerous heart muscle cells become oxygen starved and the heart stops. In less severe cases, only part of the heart muscle dies as a result of the blockage. The dead muscle is replaced by scar tissue and the heart continues to function, though less efficiently. Diet, stress, M S A Civil Service Reviewer

Cancer is a disease in which cells somehow become activated into uncontrolled multiplication and thus produce an overgrowth, or tumor, composed of malformed, malignant cells. Cancerous tumors I iin occur in almost any tissue of the body, although some are more often affected than others. Three general kinds of cancer, named after the tissues most often affected, are recognized: carcinomas (from karkinoma, the Greek word for cancer), which commonly involve epithelial tissue (epidermis and lining membranes); sarcomas (Greek sarkoma, "flesh ") which affect mainly connective tissues, including hone; and leukemias, which start in the bone marrow and lymphatic tissues and spread in the blood and lymph.

What part of the blood plays an essential role in clot lot ination? II. blood proteins b librin
When the tissues of the body are wounded, several events occur that resist the loss of blood from the cut vessels and begin the healing processes. At the wound site, blood platelets swell and burst, releasing chemicals that cause the arteries to constrict and thus slow the loss of blood. The platelets also initiate a process that results in activation of prothrombin activator, an enzyme that converts a blood-protein constituent called prothrombin to thrombin. In the presence of calcium ions, thrombin catalyzes the conversion oj another blood-protein component, fibrinogen, into fibrin threads. The fibrin threads form a fine meshwork in the blood and together with trapped cells and other blood particles make a clot and block further the escape of blood from the wound.

B. Kabataan: Pag-asa ng Bay an
ang nadarama ng may-akda sa kabataan na kanyang Ipinahiwatig sa dalawang hiding pangungusap ng talata? Ano
"Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. " Ito ang sinabi ni Dr. Jose Rizal, ang ating pambansang bayani. Malaki ang pagtitiwala niya sa angking talino at kakayahan ng mga kabataan. Naniniwala siya na mahahango ang bansang Pilipinas sa tiyak na kasawian kung sila, ang mga kabataan, ang magkakaroon ng tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan.
"Ang kabataan ay pag-asa ng bayan." Ano ang implikasyon 0000 . o a b e d ng pangungusap na ito / c. May suliranin ang bayan. a. Masagana ang bayan. d. May bayani ang bayan. b. Mapayapa ang bayan.
Mula sa Likha I V nina Samonte, et al.
4. Alin sa mga sumusunod ang HINDI nagpapakita ng pagmamalasakit sa pamayanan?

a. Pakikiisa sa mga proyekto ng pamayanan. b. Pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at katahimikan. c. Paglilinis ng mga sari-sariling bakuran. d. Pakikiisa sa kapuwa kabataang may masamang bisyo. 5. Paano maiaahon ng kabataan ang bansang Pilipinas sa tiyak na kasawian?
0000 a b e d
a. Sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan. b. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtugon sa kani-kaniyang kagustuhan lamang. c. Parehong tama ang a at b d. Walang tamang sagot. MSA Civil Service Reviewer
0000
a. Tuwa sapagkat tunay na pag-asa ng bayan ang kabataan. b. I -iingkot dahil tila bibiguin ng mga kabataan ang paniniwala ni Rizal. e. Galak dahil patuloy ang kabataan sa pagpapaunlad ng bayan. d. Dalamhati sapagkat naaalala niya ang kabataan ni Rizal.
Maraming maitutulong ang mga kabataan sa pagpapaunlad ng bansa. Maaaring simulan nila ang pagmamalasakit sa kani-kanilang mga pamayanan. Sa mga proyektong inilulunsad ng pamahalaan, may mga gawaing pangkabataan katulad ng pagpapaganda ng kapaligiran at paglilinis ng mga sari-sariling bakuran. Makatutulong din ang mga kabataan sa pagpapanatili ng katahimikan at kapayapaan sa mga pamayanan. Ngunit, bakit tila yata ang mga kabataang ito ang bibigo sa dakilang pangarap ng yumaong bayani? Bakit tila nais nilang sikilin ang damdaming makabayang siyang sandata sa pagtatanggol sa Inang Bayan?

(1) Queenie May sold 60% as many raffle tickets as Chin-Chin.
Solutions and Explanations
(2) Queenie May sold 8% o f all the raffle tickets sold.
1. B y what percent was the price per k i l o of chicken increased?
I f C h i n - C h i n sold c tickets and Queenie May sold q tickets, then c + q = 168. Accordingto (1), q = 0.60 c. The value of c can be determined by solving both equations simultaneously. Therefore, the answer must be A or D. From (2) the number of raffle tickets that Queenie May sold cannot be determined since the total number of tickets sold is unknown. Thus (2) alone is not sufficient, and the best anwer is A.
(1) The price per kilo of chicken was increased by P20. (2) The price per kilo of chicken after the increase was PI 20. In (1) only the increase i n price is given, and both the original and final prices are unknown. Thus, the percent increase cannot be determined from (1) alone, and the answer must be B, C, or E . I n (2), only the final price is given, so the percent increase cannot be determined from (2) alone, and the
