Question 1 of 5
The medical term expressing suture of the neck of the uterus is __________
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: cervicorrhaphy. "Cervico-" refers to the neck of the uterus, and "-rrhaphy" means suture. Therefore, cervicorrhaphy is the correct term for the procedure of suturing the neck of the uterus. A: Cervicography is a diagnostic imaging technique, not a procedure for suturing. B: Perineorrhaphy involves suturing the perineum, not the neck of the uterus. D: Cervicorrhexis refers to cutting or incising the neck of the uterus, not suturing it.
Question 2 of 5
The external male genital organ displays:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. The corpus spongiosum surrounds the urethra in the male external genital organ, aiding in the passage of urine and semen. 2. This structure is crucial for maintaining proper urinary and reproductive functions. 3. The other choices are incorrect because: - Choice B is vague and does not specifically relate to the male genital organ. - Choice C refers to the corpora cavernosa, which are erectile tissue in the penis, not the urethra. - Choice D describes the root of the penis but does not specifically relate to the corpus spongiosum.
Question 3 of 5
The female reproductive system includes the following structures:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: ovary. The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, which are responsible for producing eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The Fallopian tubes are passageways for eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus, not a part of the system itself. The vagina is the birth canal and where sperm enters during intercourse, but it is not a reproductive organ. The vulva includes external genitalia like the labia and clitoris, but it is not a reproductive structure. Therefore, the ovary is the only structure directly involved in the reproductive process.
Question 4 of 5
Between puberty and menopause, monthly, the following occurs :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: the release of an oocyte. During the menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs where a mature egg (oocyte) is released from the ovary. This typically happens around the middle of the cycle in response to hormonal changes. This process is essential for fertilization and pregnancy to occur. A, B, and D are incorrect because: A: the maturation of a single secondary ovarian follicle - This occurs before ovulation, not during the menstrual cycle. B: the transformation of a primordial follicle into a secondary one - This is an earlier stage in follicle development, not a monthly occurrence. D: the release of a de Graaf follicle - The Graafian follicle is the mature follicle that releases the oocyte during ovulation, not a monthly event.
Question 5 of 5
We can state the following about the uterus:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: The uterine cavity displays a mucous membrane that undergoes cyclical modifications due to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Step 2: This mucous membrane is essential for embryo implantation and plays a crucial role in pregnancy. Step 3: The cyclical modifications of the mucous membrane are necessary for the shedding of the endometrium during menstruation. Summary: Choice C is correct because it accurately describes a key function of the uterus related to the menstrual cycle. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the specific function of the uterine cavity and its mucous membrane modifications.
