1. Question 1
   A patient has been drinking excessive water for several hours. Which hormonal change would most directly help restore plasma osmolarity toward normal?

   Decreased parathyroid hormone (PTH) release to reduce calcium levelsIncreased insulin secretion to promote glucose uptakeDecreased antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release to excrete more waterIncreased aldosterone secretion to retain sodium

2. Question 2
   A fasting patient’s blood glucose drops below normal. Which hormonal response most directly helps restore blood glucose to homeostatic levels?

   Increased insulin release from pancreatic beta cellsIncreased calcitonin release from thyroid C cellsIncreased glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cellsDecreased cortisol release from the adrenal cortex

3. Question 3
   A patient has been sweating heavily during a long run and has not had fluids. Which hormonal change would most directly help restore blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume?

   Increased aldosterone secretion to increase sodium and water reabsorptionDecreased aldosterone secretion to reduce sodium reabsorptionIncreased insulin secretion to promote glucose uptakeDecreased cortisol secretion to reduce metabolism
