Question 1 of 5

What type of epithelium lines the fallopian tubes?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ciliated epithelium. The fallopian tubes are lined with ciliated epithelium, which helps to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Choice B, Stratified epithelium, is incorrect because the fallopian tubes are lined with a single layer of cells. Choice C, Columnar epithelium, is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the lining of the fallopian tubes. Choice D, Endometrium, is incorrect because the endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes.

Question 2 of 5

At 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, the breast changes include:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: At 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, one of the changes in the breast includes the prominence of Montgomery's tubercles. These sebaceous glands around the nipple become more noticeable at this stage. Colostrum production usually occurs later in pregnancy, typically closer to the third trimester. While breast tenderness is a common symptom of early pregnancy, it is not specific to the 6-8 week timeframe. Nipples becoming more prominent and mobile may happen later in pregnancy as the body prepares for breastfeeding, but it is not a typical change seen specifically at 6-8 weeks.

Question 4 of 5

Inevitable abortion is characterized by:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion is characterized by an open os. This condition is associated with heavy bleeding. While severe cramping can be present in inevitable abortion, the key characteristic is the open os, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect because they do not specifically describe the defining feature of inevitable abortion, which is the open os.

Question 5 of 5

When does a broad ligament haematoma occur?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A broad ligament hematoma occurs when there is a rupture in the mesenteric border of the tube. This typically happens due to trauma or other underlying conditions. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a broad ligament hematoma specifically involves a rupture in the mesenteric border of the tube, not the ovarian ligament, broad ligament, or uterine wall.
