Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Hunger is not one of the strongest stimuli for an increase in thyroid production.
Rationale 2: One of the strongest stimuli for increased thyroid hormone production is exposure to cold.
Rationale 3: Ongoing infection is not one of the strongest stimuli for an increase in thyroid production.
Rationale 4: Hypocalcemia is not one of the strongest stimuli for an increase in thyroid production.
Global Rationale: One of the strongest stimuli for increased thyroid hormone production is exposure to cold.
Hunger, ongoing infection, and hypocalcemia are not strong stimuli for increased thyroid production.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Thyroid-stimulating hormone is released by the anterior pituitary in response to decreased levels of T3 and T4.
Rationale 2: The anterior pituitary does not secrete tri-iodothyronine.
Rationale 3: The anterior pituitary does not release thyrotropin-releasing hormone.
Rationale 4: The anterior pituitary does not release thyroxine.
Global Rationale: Thyroid-stimulating hormone is released by the anterior pituitary in response to decreased levels of T3 and T4. The anterior pituitary does not secrete tri-iodothyroine, thyrotripin-releasing hormone, or thyroxine.
