Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In prepubertal boys, administration of male sex hormone-like drugs will stimulate development of masculine characteristics and cause development of the male sexual organs. Production of sperm will occur when the boy enters puberty. These drugs are not administered to decrease skin thickness or increase protein metabolism.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The two arterioles around the glomerulus work together to closely regulate the flow of fluid into the glomerulus, increasing or decreasing pressure on either side of the glomerulus as needed. The loop of Henle is part of the nephron. The nephron does not regulate blood flow to the glomerulus, and option D is a distracter for this question.
