1. true
2. false

question 17 (2.5 points)
a patient is discovered to have a high calcium blood level. which gland is most likely causing the problem?
pituitary
parathyroid
adrenal
thymus

Explanation:

First Question:

As we age, the number of olfactory neurons decreases, reducing the ability to detect smells like gas leaks. So the statement is false.

The parathyroid glands regulate blood calcium levels. Overactive parathyroids (hyperparathyroidism) increase blood calcium. Pituitary, adrenal, and thymus have other primary functions not related to calcium regulation here.

Answer:

1. False
