Penile curvature, or chordee, is either a ventral or a dorsal curvature of the penis. Curvature is usually congenitally caused by a fibrous band along the usual course of the corpus spongiosum. Ventral chordee is seen mostly with epispadias, when the urethral meatus opens dorsally on the glans. Hypospadias is a condition in which the urethral meatus opens ventrally on the glans. The urethral meatus does not open at the penoscrotal junction or between the scrotal folds.

1. "You are producing antibodies against your own platelets.". 2. "This is a disorder caused by an overproduction of neutrophils.". 3. "You are having a reaction to heparin therapy.". 4. "This disorder is caused by an overproduction of reticulocytes.".
The nurse is studying the process whereby antibodies are made in the body. If the body immediately responds to an offending organism, this means the body:
1. Has been exposed before and responds with secondary immunity. 2. Has an overproduction of plasma cells. 3. Is unable to differentiate self from non-self. 4. Has immune tolerance.
