1. While sitting, a patient experienced a heart rate of 110 beats/minute, hypertension, and pupil dilation. His diet habits had not change and he did not gain or lose weight. Lab results revealed normal blood electrolytes, glucose, and thyroid hormone levels. He may have an excessive secretion of the following:
a) Epinephrine
b) Aldosterone
c) Antidiuretic Hormone
d) Acetylcholine
e) Thyroid Hormone
2. Patient in the question #1 was diagnosed with a hypersecreting tumor from the following:
a) Adrenal Medulla
b) Adrenal Cortex
c) Thyroid
d) Pituitary
e) Hypothalamus

3. A 30 year old male patient has experienced weight loss without dieting, increased perspiration, thinning skin and hair changes, tachycardia-at-rest, hypertension, and hot intolerance. He had blurred and double vision. Lab results showed an abnormally high levels of TSH, and normal blood levels of electrolytes, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. The weight loss was due to the following:
a) Hypermetabolism
b) Hypometabolism
c) Hypercalcemia
d) Hypocalcemia
e) None of the Above
4. The patient in question #3 may have had excessive secretion of the following:
a) Cortisol
