Question 2 of 5

Which is TRUE in respect to insulin secretion?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Insulin secretion depends on glucose entry into β cells via GLUT2, triggering Ca2+ influx (not efflux of K^+). Metformin enhances sensitivity, not secretion, and cAMP promotes it.

Question 3 of 5

TSN secretion is stimulated by:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assuming 'TSN' is a typo for TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), cold temperatures stimulate its release via TRH. Dopamine and somatostatin inhibit it, stress has variable effects, and glucocorticoids suppress it.
