Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Dysfunction may result from abnormal cell receptor function or from altered intracellular re-sponse to the hormone-receptor complex. Abnormal hormone levels can occur but are not the cause of endocrine dysfunction. Intracellular storage of second-messenger hormones would not lead to dysfunction; receptor function does. Extracellular electrolyte alterations may result from dysfunction, but they are not a cause.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The pineal glands secrete melatonin. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine. The adrenal cortex secretes cortisol. The thyroid gland secretes somatostatin.
