Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale: There are many disorders of the endocrine system that can cause short stature including hypothyroidism, Turner syndrome, and Cushing syndrome. Type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are not endocrine disorders that cause short stature.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3

Rationale: All statements are correct except the statements regarding the thyroid hormone and the parathyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone regulates metabolism of the cells and body heat production, not the parathyroid hormone. The parathyroid hormone regulates serum calcium levels and phosphorus excretion.
