What does a baby's breech mean?

Correct Answer
D. A baby's leg

Explanation
A baby's breech refers to the position of the baby in the womb where their buttocks or feet are positioned to be delivered first instead of the head. This is considered to be an abnormal position for delivery and can increase the risk of complications during childbirth. Therefore, the correct answer is "A baby's leg" as it signifies the position of the baby in the breech presentation.

Which is not a phase of an ovarian cycle?
- A.
  
  Luteal
- B.
  
  Ovulatory
- C.
  
  Follicular
- D.
  
  Labour
Correct Answer
D. Labour

Explanation
The phases of the ovarian cycle are follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. These phases represent the different stages of development and release of an egg from the ovary. "Labour" is not a phase of the ovarian cycle. Labour refers to the process of giving birth and is unrelated to the ovarian cycle.

Where is the ovum gotten from?
- A.
  
  The abdomen
- B.
  
  The lower abdomen
- C.
  
  The Graafian Follicle
- D.
  
  Luteal
Correct Answer
C. The Graafian Follicle

Explanation
The Graafian Follicle is the correct answer because it is the structure within the ovary where the ovum, or egg, is produced. The Graafian Follicle is a fluid-filled sac that develops and matures in the ovary during the menstrual cycle. When the follicle ruptures, it releases the ovum, which can then be fertilized by sperm if conception occurs. The abdomen and lower abdomen are not specific locations where the ovum is obtained from, and Luteal is not a correct anatomical term related to the ovum.

What makes the vaginal yeast infection so likely during pregnancy?
- A.
  
  The vaginal is preparing for labour
- B.
  
  The vaginal has constant secretion
- C.
  
  The vaginal has unstable acidity
- D.
  
  It rarely happens in pregnancy
Correct Answer
B. The vaginal has constant secretion

Explanation
During pregnancy, hormonal changes can cause an increase in vaginal discharge. This constant secretion creates a moist environment, which is conducive for the growth of yeast. The hormonal changes also affect the pH balance in the vagina, making it more alkaline and less acidic. This unstable acidity further promotes the growth of yeast, leading to a higher likelihood of vaginal yeast infections during pregnancy.

What hormone increases heat in a pregnant woman?
- A.
  
  Libido
- B.
  
  Progesterone
- C.
  
  Ovulation
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Progesterone

Explanation
Progesterone is a hormone that increases heat in a pregnant woman. During pregnancy, progesterone levels rise significantly, which leads to an increase in body temperature. This increase in heat helps to support the development of the fetus and maintain a suitable environment for its growth. Progesterone also plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the body for pregnancy. While libido and ovulation are also related to pregnancy, they do not directly increase heat in a pregnant woman.

What produces HCG?
- A.
  
  Placenta
- B.
  
  Womb
- C.
  
  Kidney
- D.
  
  Spinal cord
Correct Answer
A. Placenta

Explanation
HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is responsible for maintaining the production of progesterone, which is necessary for the maintenance of the uterine lining and the prevention of menstruation. HCG is also the hormone that is detected in pregnancy tests, as its presence in the urine or blood indicates the presence of a pregnancy. Therefore, the placenta is the correct answer as it is the primary source of HCG production in the body.

Which of these has protein?
- A.
  
  Bread
- B.
  
  Garlic
- C.
  
  Fish
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Fish

Explanation
Fish is the correct answer because it is a good source of protein. Protein is an essential nutrient that helps in building and repairing tissues, supporting immune function, and aiding in various biochemical reactions in the body. While bread, garlic, and spaghetti are all food items, they do not contain significant amounts of protein compared to fish.
