Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
FSH directly stimulates the seminiferous tubules to produce sperm, a process called spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis does not occur in response to LH or GnRH (options A and B). Option D, GfRH is a distracter for this question.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Dronabinol and nabilone are only approved for use in managing nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have not responded to other treatment. The exact mechanisms of action of dronabinol and nabilone are not understood. They are readily absorbed and metabolized in the liver, with excretion through bile and urine. They are controlled substances. Dronabinol is a category C-III controlled substance and nabilone is a category C-II substance. They must be used under close supervision because of the possibility of altered mental status. Dronabinol does not cause bradycardia, hypertension, or a rash.
