Question 1 of 5
Mammary papilla means the;
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nipple. The mammary papilla refers to the nipple, the protruding part of the breast where milk is released during breastfeeding. It is the anatomical structure that connects the lactiferous ducts to the outside of the body. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Areola is the darker area surrounding the nipple. B: Lactiferous duct is the tube that carries milk from the mammary glands to the nipple. C: Sinuses are not directly related to the mammary papilla.
Question 2 of 5
When a male is castrated before puberty, he becomes:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Eunuch. When a male is castrated before puberty, he becomes a eunuch because castration removes the testes, leading to a lack of testosterone production and loss of male secondary sexual characteristics. This results in a eunuch having a more neutral appearance and lacking the ability to reproduce. A: Choosing "Female" is incorrect because castration does not change the individual's genetic sex. B: Selecting "Cretin" is incorrect as cretinism is a condition caused by severe thyroid hormone deficiency, not related to castration. D: Opting for "Potent" is incorrect as castration leads to the loss of reproductive ability, making the individual infertile.
Question 3 of 5
The male gonads develop in the _______________ before descending down into the scrotum
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Abdominal cavity. During embryonic development, the male gonads (testes) initially form in the abdominal cavity near the kidneys. They then descend through the inguinal canal into the scrotum. The pelvic cavity (choice A) is below the abdominal cavity, the peritoneal cavity (choice B) is a part of the abdominal cavity, and the cul-de-sac (choice D) is a pouch in the pelvic cavity. The key point is understanding the anatomical path of descent of the male gonads from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum.
Question 4 of 5
Spasm of sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck causes:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Torticollis. Spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck causes the head to tilt to one side and the chin to rotate to the opposite side, leading to a condition known as torticollis. Talipes equinovarus (A) is a foot deformity, cleft lip (C) is a congenital facial anomaly, and kyphosis (D) is an abnormal curvature of the spine. These conditions are not directly related to the spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck.
Question 5 of 5
Shin bone is also known as
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tibia. The shin bone is commonly referred to as the tibia. This bone is located on the inner side of the leg and is the larger of the two lower leg bones. The femur (A) is the thigh bone, the fibula (C) is the smaller of the two lower leg bones, and the patella (D) is the kneecap. Therefore, the tibia is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the shin bone.
