Which of the following is the location where fertilization occurs?
- A.
Ovaries
- B.
Vagina
- C.
Uterus
- D.
Fallopian Tubes
Correct Answer
D. Fallopian TubesExplanation
Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes. After ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary and travels through the fallopian tubes towards the uterus. If sperm is present in the fallopian tubes, fertilization can occur as the sperm can meet and penetrate the egg. The fertilized egg then continues its journey to the uterus where it implants and develops into a pregnancy.Rate this question:

Which of the following terms correspond with the phrase: a woman that is pregnant?
- A.
Gravida
- B.
Parity
- C.
Spermatogonia
- D.
Zona pellucida
Correct Answer
A. GravidaExplanation
Gravida is the correct answer because it is a term used to describe a woman who is pregnant. It refers to the number of times a woman has been pregnant, regardless of the outcome of the pregnancies. Parity, on the other hand, refers to the number of pregnancies that have reached 20 weeks or more, not specifically to a woman who is currently pregnant. Spermatogonia refers to the male germ cells involved in sperm production, and zona pellucida is a membrane surrounding the oocyte.Rate this question:

Which of the following sign's may indicate pregnancy?
- A.
Chadwick's sign
- B.
Turner's sign
- C.
Virchow's sign
- D.
Kock's sign
Correct Answer
A. Chadwick's signExplanation
Chadwick's sign is a bluish discoloration of the cervix and vagina that may indicate pregnancy. This occurs due to increased blood flow to the area during pregnancy. Turner's sign refers to a bluish discoloration of the umbilicus, which can be a sign of intra-abdominal bleeding. Virchow's sign refers to the presence of a palpable lymph node in the left supraclavicular area, which can be a sign of metastatic cancer. Kock's sign is not a recognized medical sign and does not indicate pregnancy.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not an associated change during the antepartum period?
- A.
Increased urination frequency
- B.
Increased respiratory requirements
- C.
Decreased basal metabolic rate
- D.
Goodell's sign
Correct Answer
C. Decreased basal metabolic rateExplanation
During the antepartum period, which is the time before childbirth, there are several physiological changes that occur in a pregnant woman's body. Increased urination frequency is a common change due to the pressure of the growing uterus on the bladder. Increased respiratory requirements occur because the woman's body needs to provide oxygen for both herself and the developing fetus. Goodell's sign is a softening of the cervix, which is a normal change during pregnancy. However, the basal metabolic rate, which is the rate at which the body burns calories at rest, does not typically decrease during the antepartum period.Rate this question:

Which of the following matches the definition: abnormal placenta development covering the cervix?
- A.
Placenta Previa
- B.
Abruptio Placentae
- C.
Multigravida
- D.
Proliferative phase
Correct Answer
A. Placenta PreviaExplanation
Placenta Previa is the correct answer because it refers to the abnormal development of the placenta, where it covers the cervix partially or completely. This condition can lead to bleeding during pregnancy and may require medical intervention. Abruptio Placentae refers to the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus, Multigravida refers to a woman who has been pregnant more than once, and Proliferative phase refers to a phase in the menstrual cycle.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not scored with the APGAR?
- A.
0
- B.
Heart Rate
- C.
Color
- D.
Tone
Correct Answer
A. 0Explanation
The APGAR score is a quick assessment tool used to evaluate the health of a newborn baby. It measures five factors: appearance (color), pulse (heart rate), grimace (reflex irritability), activity (muscle tone), and respiration. Each factor is scored on a scale of 0 to 2, with a maximum score of 10. In this case, the answer "0" is correct because it is not one of the factors scored with the APGAR.Rate this question:

Which of these is not considered a T.O.R.C.H. infection?
- A.
Rubella
- B.
Herpes
- C.
Cytomegalovirus
- D.
Croup
Correct Answer
D. CroupExplanation
Croup is not considered a T.O.R.C.H. infection because T.O.R.C.H. is an acronym that stands for Toxoplasmosis, Other (such as syphilis), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes. Croup is a viral infection that affects the upper airway, causing inflammation and difficulty breathing, but it does not fall under the T.O.R.C.H. category.Rate this question:

- A.
Paramesonephric duct
- B.
Mesonephric duct
- C.
Sympathetic duct
- D.
Parasympathetic duct
Correct Answer
B. Mesonephric ductExplanation
The mesonephric duct develops into the ejaculatory duct and ductus deferens. The paramesonephric duct develops into the female reproductive structures, while the sympathetic and parasympathetic ducts are not involved in the development of these specific structures.Rate this question:

Which of the following is the result of poor fusion between the paramesonephric ducts in females?
- A.
Placenta Previa
- B.
Bicornuate uterus
- C.
Multigravida
- D.
Proliferative phase
Correct Answer
B. Bicornuate uterusExplanation
Poor fusion between the paramesonephric ducts in females can result in a bicornuate uterus. The paramesonephric ducts are responsible for the development of the female reproductive system, including the uterus. If the fusion of these ducts is incomplete, it can lead to the formation of a bicornuate uterus, which is characterized by a uterus with two separate horns or cavities. This condition can affect fertility and increase the risk of complications during pregnancy.Rate this question:

Where does spermatogenesis occur?
- A.
Seminiferous tubules
- B.
Corpus spongiosoma
- C.
Prostate gland
- D.
Scrotum
Correct Answer
A. Seminiferous tubulesExplanation
Spermatogenesis, the process of sperm production, occurs in the seminiferous tubules. These tubules are found within the testes, which are located in the scrotum. The seminiferous tubules are responsible for producing and maturing sperm cells through a series of complex cellular divisions and differentiations. The other options listed, such as the corpus spongiosum, prostate gland, and scrotum, are not directly involved in spermatogenesis.Rate this question:

The tip of the sperm is called the ____.
- A.
Head
- B.
Acrosome
- C.
Tail
- D.
Nucleus
Correct Answer
B. AcrosomeExplanation
The acrosome is a structure located at the tip of the sperm. It contains enzymes that are released during fertilization to help the sperm penetrate the outer layer of the egg. The head of the sperm contains the nucleus, which carries the genetic material, while the tail is responsible for propelling the sperm towards the egg. However, it is the acrosome that plays a crucial role in the fertilization process, making it the correct answer.Rate this question:

Which of the following develops into: bone, connective tissue, blood, and the spleen?
- A.
Notochord
- B.
Endoderm
- C.
Mesoderm
- D.
Ectoderm
Correct Answer
C. MesodermExplanation
Mesoderm is the correct answer because it is one of the three primary germ layers that develop during embryogenesis. It gives rise to various tissues and organs, including bone, connective tissue, blood, and the spleen. The mesoderm layer is responsible for the formation of the musculoskeletal system, circulatory system, and many other structures in the body.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a germ layer during the 3rd week of development?
- A.
Mesoderm
- B.
Ectoderm
- C.
Endoderm
- D.
Exoderm
Correct Answer
D. ExodermExplanation
During the 3rd week of development, the three primary germ layers that form the basis of embryonic development are the mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm. These germ layers give rise to different tissues and organs in the developing embryo. However, the term "exoderm" is not a recognized germ layer in embryology. Therefore, it is not a germ layer during the 3rd week of development.Rate this question:

The umbilical vein carries _____ blood.
- A.
Deoxygenated
- B.
Oxygenated
Correct Answer
B. OxygenatedExplanation
The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood. This is because during fetal development, the umbilical vein connects the fetus to the placenta, where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged. Oxygenated blood from the placenta is then carried back to the fetus through the umbilical vein to supply the developing organs and tissues.Rate this question:

Ovulation occurs during which of the following phases?
- A.
Menstrual
- B.
Secretory
- C.
Proliferative
- D.
Follicle
Correct Answer
C. ProliferativeExplanation
During the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle, the endometrium (lining of the uterus) begins to thicken and prepare for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. This phase is characterized by increased estrogen levels, which stimulate the growth and development of the ovarian follicles. Ovulation occurs towards the end of the proliferative phase, when a mature follicle releases an egg from the ovary. Therefore, the correct answer is proliferative.Rate this question:

Following fertilization the blastocyst secrets a hormone called?
- A.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
- B.
Oxytocin
- C.
FSH
- D.
LH
Correct Answer
A. Human Chorionic GonadotropinExplanation
After fertilization, the blastocyst secretes a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to support the pregnancy. It is also the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. Oxytocin is responsible for uterine contractions during labor, FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles, and LH (Luteinizing Hormone) triggers ovulation.Rate this question:

Progesterone is secreted from a female's _____ to help the implanted embryo and continue the pregnancy.
- A.
Corpus luteum
- B.
Mesoderm
- C.
Endoderm
- D.
Thyroid
Correct Answer
A. Corpus luteumExplanation
Progesterone is secreted from a female's corpus luteum to help the implanted embryo and continue the pregnancy. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure that forms in the ovary after ovulation. It produces progesterone, which is essential for maintaining the uterine lining and supporting early pregnancy. Without sufficient levels of progesterone, the uterine lining may shed, leading to the termination of pregnancy. Therefore, the corpus luteum plays a crucial role in supporting and sustaining pregnancy.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not appropriately matched with the term: Braxton Hicks contractions?
- A.
Painless
- B.
Intermittent contractions
- C.
Edema
- D.
Irregular
Correct Answer
C. EdemaExplanation
Braxton Hicks contractions are a normal occurrence during pregnancy, characterized by intermittent and irregular contractions that are usually painless. Edema, on the other hand, refers to swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in the body's tissues, which is not related to contractions or pregnancy. Therefore, edema is not appropriately matched with the term Braxton Hicks contractions.Rate this question:

If a newborn exhibits a heart rate of 80 bpm the APGAR score should be?
- A.
0
- B.
1
- C.
2
- D.
3
Correct Answer
B. 1Explanation
A newborn exhibiting a heart rate of 80 bpm would receive an APGAR score of 1. The APGAR score is a quick assessment tool used to evaluate the overall condition and well-being of a newborn immediately after birth. It assesses five factors: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. Each factor is assigned a score of 0, 1, or 2, with 2 being the highest. In this case, a heart rate of 80 bpm would receive a score of 1, indicating a slightly below normal heart rate.Rate this question:

If a newborn exhibits blue extremities and the body is pink the APGAR score should be?
- A.
0
- B.
1
- C.
2
- D.
3
Correct Answer
B. 1Explanation
If a newborn exhibits blue extremities and the body is pink, it indicates that the baby has good overall color with only the extremities being slightly cyanotic. According to the APGAR scoring system, a score of 1 is given for color if the body is pink but the extremities are blue. This suggests that the baby is transitioning well from the womb to the outside world, but may still require some assistance or monitoring.Rate this question:
