Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although all endocrine glands have a role in homeostasis, the job of the hypothalamus is to communicate the messages of the central autonomic nervous system to the organs/glands of the endocrine system, thus maintaining homeostasis throughout the body.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Dilated CMP is caused by toxic agents, often from infections, chemotherapy, immunological defects, or nutritional disorders. It is the most common form of CMP. Hypertrophic CMP is usually a familial disorder and involves a hyperdynamic ventricle that fills poorly because of thickening. Restrictive CMP is the least common type of CMP.
