Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

In secondary disorders of endocrine function, the target gland is essentially normal, but defective levels of stimulating hormones or releasing factors from the pituitary system alter its function.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Approximately two thirds of the glucose that is ingested with a meal is removed from the blood and stored in the liver as glycogen. Between meals, the liver releases glucose as a means of maintaining blood glucose within its normal range. Normal glucose metabolism does not involve large variations in blood glucose levels in response to food intake, and excess glucose does not normally remain in circulation. Glucose levels are not primarily maintained by the kidneys.
