Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The physiology of stress is associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The parathyroid is not noted to be centrally involved in stress response.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is collectively called transmissible neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by a slowly progressive, noninflammatory neuronal degeneration and leads to a loss of coordination, dementia, and death. With this disease, encephalopathy is the primary presenting factor. GI problems, muscle inflammation, and ICP are not clinical manifestations associated with this prion.
