Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
With age, the seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells atrophy and the male climacteric or andropause, a period of lessened sexual activity and loss of testosterone effects, occurs. This indicates a decline in hormone levels in men similar to what women experience. Sexual function and the ability to obtain and maintain an erection do not occur in all men, but usually is most often seen in those with problems such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. Healthy men who make healthy lifestyle choices can maintain sexual activity well into their senior years.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Anxiety is a common disorder that may be referred to as nervousness, tension, worry, or using other terms that denote an unpleasant feeling. The other options would not be described by these symptoms.
