Answer to Question 1

4
The purpose of the release of stress hormones following an insult to the body is to aid in restoring balance to the system and to prevent secondary complications, including loss of fluids, hypotension, and infection. The stress hormones are not released to prevent the ingestion of food.

Answer to Question 2

3
Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from a defect or failure of the beta cells of the pancreas. The loss of beta cells causes a lack of insulin. The other options produce insulin.
