Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH, which are released from the anterior pituitary in response to stimulation from GnRH that is released from the hypothalamus. GHRH stimulates the release of the growth hormone, which targets cell growth. TRH stimulates the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which targets the thyroid gland. PRH stimulates the release of prolactin, which is necessary for milk production.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Nerves require energy (i.e., oxygen and glucose) and the correct balance of the electrolytes sodium and potassium to maintain normal action potentials and transmit information into and out of the nervous system. Energy required by the nerves is not provided by dopamine, electricity, acetylcholine, or serotonin.
