Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In blood vessels, beta2 stimulation leads to vasodilation. Stimulation of Alpha1-receptors causes vasoconstriction. Beta1 and Alpha2-receptors are not involved with blood vessels

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Progesterone has an anti-insulin effect to generate a higher blood glucose concentration to allow for rapid diffusion of glucose to the developing embryo. Body temperature and appetite are increased by progesterone. Uterine motility is decreased to provide increased chance that implantation can occur.
