Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Endorphins and enkephalins are produced by the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. Oxytocin and ADH are produced by the posterior pituitary gland, and ACTH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Mitotic inhibitors such as docetaxel and paclitaxel inhibit microtubular reorganization. Alkylating agents interfere with ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or other cellular proteins. Hormone modulators react with specific receptor sites to block cell growth and activity. The antimetabolite cladribine and miscellaneous agent hydroxyurea block DNA synthesis.
