Question 1 of 5
The medical term expressing suture of the perineum is ________
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: perineorrhaphy. "Perineorrhaphy" refers to the surgical suturing of the perineum. The term is derived from "perineum" (the area between the anus and the genitalia) and "rrhaphy" (meaning suture). A: cervicography - This term refers to a diagnostic procedure involving imaging of the cervix, not related to suturing the perineum. C: cervicorrhapy - This term does not exist in medical terminology and is not related to suturing the perineum. D: cervicorrhexis - This term refers to the tearing of the cervix, not the suturing of the perineum. In summary, perineorrhaphy is the correct term as it specifically refers to suturing the perineum, while the other choices are unrelated to this procedure.
Question 2 of 5
Spermatogenesis:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: Spermatogenesis is a complex process involving several stages such as mitosis, meiosis, and maturation. It starts with the division of spermatogonia through mitosis, followed by meiosis I and II to form haploid spermatids. These spermatids then undergo maturation to become spermatozoa. Therefore, spermatogenesis occurs in several stages, making choice A the correct answer. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: While spermatogenesis does involve meiosis, it includes both meiosis I and II, not just meiosis I. C: Spermatogenesis includes both meiosis I and II, not just meiosis II. D: Spermatogenesis is primarily regulated by hormones such as testosterone and LH, not FSH.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement about the ovary is not true:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the ovary is not located in the right flank; it is located in the lower abdomen. A: The ovary is a pair organ, as there are two ovaries in the female reproductive system. B: The ovary is a gland with mixed roles, producing hormones and releasing eggs. C: The ovary is oval-shaped, which is anatomically correct. Therefore, choice D is incorrect as the ovary is not located in the right flank.
Question 4 of 5
The veins of the ovary can open into:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: internal iliac vein. The veins of the ovary drain into the ovarian veins, which then connect to the pampiniform plexus, ultimately draining into the internal iliac vein. This pathway allows for the blood from the ovary to be carried back to the heart. The other choices (A, B, C) are incorrect as the ovarian veins do not typically open into the inferior vena cava, uterine vein, or renal vein.
Question 5 of 5
The external female genital organs are represented by the following structures, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fallopian tubes. The external female genital organs include the vagina, vulva, and ovary, which are visible on the outside of the body. The fallopian tubes, however, are internal structures that connect the ovaries to the uterus. They are not part of the external genitalia. Therefore, the fallopian tubes do not fall under the category of external female genital organs. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all part of the external female genital organs.
