Disorders in Reproductive System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The depression or socket in the pelvic bone into which the head of the femur articulates is called
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Acetabulum. The acetabulum is the depression in the pelvic bone where the head of the femur articulates. This articulation forms the hip joint. The glenoid fossa (A) is found in the scapula and articulates with the head of the humerus, not the femur. The mandibular fossa (B) is located in the temporal bone and articulates with the mandible, not the femur. The jugular fossa (C) is a groove in the temporal bone for the internal jugular vein, not related to the femur articulation. Therefore, the correct choice is D as it accurately describes the anatomical structure where the femur articulates with the pelvic bone.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
The structure between the uterus and the vagina is the
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: cervix. The cervix is the structure between the uterus and the vagina, serving as the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It plays a crucial role in pregnancy by allowing sperm to enter the uterus and facilitating the passage of menstrual blood. Rationale: 1. The uterine tube (A) is not the correct answer as it connects the ovaries to the uterus and is not located between the uterus and the vagina. 2. The vulva (C) is the external genitalia and is not the structure between the uterus and the vagina. 3. The hymen (D) is a thin membrane at the opening of the vagina and does not serve as the structure between the uterus and the vagina.
