Ans: A, B, E
Feedback:
Skeletal expansion and distortion may be obvious if the disease affects the skull, jaw, clavicle, or long bones of the leg. Involvement of the skull causes headaches, intermittent tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (dizziness), and eventual hearing loss. The abnormal knuckles and thumb joint are related to arthritis.
