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.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
