Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

Gastroparesis, diarrhea, and erectile dysfunction are frequent manifestations of diabetes, while cardiac dysrhythmias, pulmonary edema, and fever are not.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

In positive feedback control, rising levels of a hormone cause another gland to release a hormone that is stimulating to the first. Increased estradiol production during the follicular stage of the menstrual cycle causes increased FSH production by the anterior pituitary gland. This stimulates further increases in estradiol levels until the demise of the follicle.
