Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The main connecting link between the nervous system and the endocrine system is the hypothalamus, which responds to nervous system stimulation by producing hormones. The thalamus and medulla oblongata are part of the nervous system and the posterior pituitary is part of the endocrine system but none of these represents a link between the two systems.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:

Using the figures from this problem: 4 mg/1 mL = 3 mg/X. Cross-multiply yielding 0.75 mL.
