Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Insulin secretion is promoted when blood levels of glucose rise. Insulin secretion is not only based on metabolic rate, prostaglandins, or enzyme activation but also on blood levels of glucose.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
PTH acts on the kidney to increase calcium reabsorption and to decrease phosphate reabsorption. None of the remaining options would be expected with such surgery.
