Answer to Question 1

Necrosis is a gray-to-black discoloration of the skin in areas where the tissue has died. Gangrene is the subsequent bacterial invasion and decay of necrotic tissue.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: A) Somatostatin is secreted by the pancreas and is not related to labor.
B) The hormone prolactin stimulates milk production for breastfeeding, not uterine contractions for labor.
C) Correct Oxytocin, the hormone from the posterior pituitary gland or the drug, causes the pregnant uterus to contract.
D) Progesterone is a female sex hormone, but it is not involved in labor.
