Answer:
4. Prevents an infection called ophthalmia neonatorum from occurring after delivery in a newborn born to a woman with an untreated gonococcal infection.
Explanation:
Ophthalmia Neonatorum is an eye infection that affects newborns within the first 30 days after birth. It is also known as “conjunctivitis of the newborn) and is caused by contact of the newborn’s eyes with the birth canal of a mother who has an untreated sexually-transmitted infection like Gonnorrhea.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
Answer:
The answer to the question: velocity of blood is relatively constant as blood flows from the aorta towards the capillaries, would be, B: False.
Explanation:
One way to figure this one out is knowing that the velocity of the blood as it flows through the aorta, comes from the pumping strength of the heart. However, as the blood starts traversing the length of the different arteries, arterioles, and finally reached the capillaries, it encounter two things; first, the speed with which it was originally launched by the heart into the aorta, has already diminished as it moves away from the heart. Second, blood will encounter a series of barriers, not the least of which is resistance from the blood vessels themselves, that will lower the speed with which it will reach the capillares. And this is just as well, as capillaries are much more fragile than arteries themselves, their purpose actually being to serve as exchange points between the cardiovascular system and the different tissues of the body. Their structure is much thinner, and thus needs less speed, in order for exchanges to take place. This is why it is false.
