Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The parathyroid glands secrete PTH. Along with vitamin D and calcitonin, PTH regulates the homeostasis of serum calcium concentrations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To be effective, vasopressin must be thoroughly mixed in the oil by being held under warm running water for 10 to 15 minutes and shaken vigorously before being drawn into the syringe. If this is not done, the oil may be injected minus the antidiuretic hormone. Small brown particles, which indicate drug dispersion, must be seen in the suspension.
