Question 2

Which of the following correctly depicts the control of secretion of glucocorticoids?
 
  A) central nucleus of the amygdala -> activates ACTH secretion from anterior pituitary - > PVN activation -> glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal medulla
  B) CRH secretion within the PVN -> activates ACTH release from anterior pituitary -> glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  C) PVN activation -> CRH secretion in anterior pituitary -> ACTH secretion from anterior pituitary - > glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  D) ACTH secretion from the PVN -> CRH release from the posterior pituitary -> glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex
  E) activation of the central nucleus of the amygdala -> sympathetic activation -> adrenaline release -> glucocorticoid secretion from adrenal cortex

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
