Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
As the urinary system ages, the prostate hypertrophies, renin secretion decrease, and bladder muscle tone decrease. Age-related changes also include shrinking bladder size and decreased ability to concentrate urine.

Answer to Question 2

D
PCOS is a congenital condition in which many cysts develop on one or both ovaries and produce excess estrogen. High levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) and low levels of fol-licle-stimulating hormone (FSH) occur. A manifestation of PCOS includes problems with glucose tolerance, which would result in elevated serum glucose levels. Other signs and symptoms include excessive body hair (hirsuitism), irregular menstruation, and infertility. Cold intolerance could be indicative of hypothyroidism, anemia, Raynaud syndrome, or other underlying medical issues.
