Could you provide rationale for 401706 & 401142 @Brian_BH ?

QID 401706:

Question asks for the likely basis of the effect of a drug that increases epi and norepi. The correct answer option is that it mimics the activity of sympathetic neurons; thus, understanding that epi and norepi are released/involved in the sympathetic nervous system is a key detail in order to be able to answer the question appropriately.

QID 401142:

Question hinges on the understanding of how glucose is affected by various hormones. In the question stem, insulin, epi, and glucagon are all mentioned. The question asks specifically for which hormones could be expected to increase blood glucose; knowledge that both glucagon and epineiphrine would accomplish this is necessary to select the appropriate answer (and avoid incorrect discriminator option that would not accomplish this).

401706 sounds good! Since 401142 is about hormonal action & only an indirect connection can be made here with how the sympathetic nervous system both increases blood glucose & increases epinephrine, as listed in the note. The latter QID would be a good pair for nids 1555183966656 & 1554585396819 (although, this only includes the needed info in Extra)

Copy that. I went ahead and added to the mentioned NID’s, just for due diligence. :slight_smile:
