Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Asymmetry of the scrotum is often normal; one side may hang lower than the other without indicating pathology.
B. Marked tenderness on palpation could suggest inflammation or infection but doesn’t necessarily indicate abnormality in all cases.
C. Easy sliding of scrotal contents is a normal finding; the testes should move easily within the scrotum.
D. The presence of small, firm, non-tender, yellowish nodules could indicate an abnormal finding such as sebaceous cysts or other nodules that may require further evaluation.

A. "With aging, a large amount of subcutaneous fat is lost, which gives the appearance of decreased height." B. "With aging, the spine is not as flexible, which doesn't permit the individual to stand as tall." C. "With aging, the cartilage between the bones in the spine gets worn down, which causes decreased height." D. "With aging, thickening of the intervertebral disks occurs, which causes pressure breakdown of the spinal vertebrae."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Loss of subcutaneous fat might contribute to changes in appearance but is not primarily responsible for the decrease in height with aging.
B. Reduced spinal flexibility may contribute to posture changes but doesn’t sufficiently explain the decrease in height.
C. With aging, the intervertebral discs and cartilage between spinal bones wear down, leading to a decrease in height due to changes in the spine's structure.
