Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Increased glucocorticoid secretion leads to polycythemia, increased appetite, fat deposition in the face and cervical areas, decreased serum calcium levels, and interference with the action of growth hormone so that somatic growth is inhibited. Weight gain and loss of height are expected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The adrenal cortex, not the liver, kidneys, or the hypothalamus, synthesizes aldosterone.
