Question 1 of 5
Soft spots that refers to unossified areas in an infants skull is termed as
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Fontanelle. Fontanelles are soft spots in an infant's skull where the bones have not yet fully fused. They allow for the baby's brain to grow and accommodate the rapid brain development during the early months of life. Sulcus refers to a groove or furrow, sinus is a cavity within a bone, and suture is the line where two bones meet. These terms do not specifically refer to the unossified areas in an infant's skull, making them incorrect choices.
Question 2 of 5
The only movable facial bone is _____________.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mandible. The mandible is the only movable facial bone as it forms the lower jaw and is connected to the skull by the temporomandibular joint, allowing for movements like chewing and speaking. Maxilla, Vomer, and Ethmoid are all facial bones, but they are fixed in place and do not have the same range of motion as the mandible. Maxilla forms the upper jaw, Vomer is a bone in the nasal cavity, and Ethmoid is a bone between the eyes. Therefore, the mandible is the only bone among the options that is capable of movement, making it the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
The purpose of the urethra is to
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. The urethra is a tube that carries both urine from the bladder and semen from the reproductive system. This is essential for the excretion of waste (urine) and reproduction (semen). Choice A is incorrect because the urethra carries both urine and semen. Choice B is incorrect as the urethra carries both substances, not just semen. Choice C is incorrect because the urethra carries semen and urine separately, not as a mixture. Overall, choice D is correct because the urethra can carry both semen and urine, just not simultaneously.
Question 4 of 5
Which spermatid phase (spermiogenesis) is distinguished by the presence of PAS positive granules called pro acrosomal granules?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Golgi phase. During the Golgi phase of spermiogenesis, the proacrosomal granules are formed from the Golgi apparatus and are PAS positive. These granules will later contribute to the formation of the acrosome in mature sperm. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Cap phase - This phase is characterized by the formation of the acrosomal cap over the nucleus, not the proacrosomal granules. C: Acrosome phase - This phase involves the elongation and shaping of the acrosome, not the formation of proacrosomal granules. D: Maturation phase - This phase focuses on the final maturation and condensation of the sperm cell, not the formation of proacrosomal granules.
Question 5 of 5
Frank is a 24 year old man who presents with multiple vesicles and burning erosions on the shaft of his penis and some tender inguinal adenopathy. Which of the following is most likely?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Herpes simplex. This is because the presentation of multiple vesicles, burning erosions on the penis shaft, and inguinal adenopathy is classic for genital herpes. Primary syphilis (A) presents with a painless chancre, chancroid (C) with painful ulcers, and gonorrhea (D) with urethral discharge or dysuria. Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2 and typically presents with vesicles, erosions, and adenopathy in the affected area.
