Answer to Question 1

C
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone increases during pregnancy and is responsible for changes in skin pigmentation; the amount decreases after delivery.
Estrogen levels decrease after delivery.
Progesterone levels decrease after delivery.
Human placental lactogen production continues to aid in lactation. However, it does not af-fect pigmentation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because of her height and low body weight, Carol is at risk of developing secondary amenorrhea, which occurs in women who are thin and have a low percentage of body fat. Fat is necessary to make sex hormones that stimulate ovulation and menstruation.
