Answer to Question 1

Calcitonin

Answer to Question 2

Both hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease cause excessive bleeding after minor injury, but in von Willebrand disease, the bleeding is not in the joints. In hemophilia A, there is a factor VIII deficiency, but patients with von Willebrand disease can synthesize factor VIII.
