Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: Oxytocin is a natural hormone that begins or improves uterine contractions during labor and delivery. Androgen therapy is the replacement of male hormones to treat patients who produce insufficient hormone naturally. A spermatocide destroys sperm. Hormone replacement therapy is replacement of hormones that the body is no longer producing naturally.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: Pneum/o means air and -thorax means chest; therefore, pneumothorax means air in the chest. Hem/o means blood; thus, hemothorax means blood in the chest. Py/o means pus; hence, pyothorax means pus in the chest. Pulm/o is not a combining form, so pulmothorax is not a medical term.
