    Which of the following is defined as the  process whereby an infant is born? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is defined as the  process whereby an infant is born?

    • Childbirth

    • Toddler birth

    • None of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Childbirth
    Explanation
    Childbirth is the correct answer because it refers to the process by which an infant is born. It involves the delivery of a baby from the mother's uterus through the birth canal. Childbirth typically occurs after a gestation period of around nine months and is a natural process that can be assisted by medical professionals if necessary. The term "toddler birth" is not a recognized term and does not accurately describe the process of an infant being born. Therefore, the correct answer is childbirth.

    What is the name given to an developing offspring after 8 weeks? - ProProfs

    What is the name given to an developing offspring after 8 weeks?

    • Embryo

    • Foetus

    • Toddler

    • Placenta

    Correct Answer
    A. Foetus
    Explanation
    After 8 weeks of development, the name given to the developing offspring is "foetus". At this stage, the major organ systems have formed and the foetus begins to resemble a human. It is during this period that the foetus undergoes rapid growth and development, with the formation of distinct features such as limbs, facial features, and internal organs. The term "foetus" is used to describe the stage of development from 8 weeks until birth.

     _____________ occurs when sperm fertilizes the egg. - ProProfs

     _____________ occurs when sperm fertilizes the egg.

    • Fertilization

    • Coitus

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Fertilization
    Explanation
    Fertilization is the process in which a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This is the initial step in sexual reproduction and the beginning of the development of a new organism. Coitus refers to sexual intercourse, which is one way in which fertilization can occur, but it is not the only method. Therefore, the correct answer is "Fertilization" as it encompasses the concept of sperm fertilizing the egg, regardless of the specific method of conception.

    Which of the following is the  name given to a developing offspring during the first 8weeks? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is the  name given to a developing offspring during the first 8weeks?

    • Offspring

    • Foetus

    • Embryo

    • Toddler

    Correct Answer
    A. Embryo
    Explanation
    During the first 8 weeks of development, the developing offspring is referred to as an embryo. At this stage, the embryo undergoes rapid cell division and starts to develop basic structures and organs. After the first 8 weeks, it is then called a fetus. The term "offspring" refers to any young organism, while "toddler" is a term used to describe a young child who has just started walking.

    Which of the following is also known as pregnancy? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is also known as pregnancy?

    • Married

    • Stomach swell

    • Gestation

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Gestation
    Explanation
    Gestation is the correct answer because it refers to the period of development of an embryo or fetus inside the uterus of a female mammal. It is commonly used to describe the duration of pregnancy in humans and other animals. The term "pregnancy" is often used interchangeably with "gestation" to describe the state of carrying a developing offspring in the womb.

    Which of the following ways can pregnancy occur? - ProProfs

    Which of the following ways can pregnancy occur?

    • Kissing

    • Coitus

    • Touching

    • Felatio

    Correct Answer
    A. Coitus
    Explanation
    Coitus is the correct answer because it refers to sexual intercourse between a male and a female, where the penis is inserted into the vagina. This is the most common way for pregnancy to occur as it allows for the sperm to fertilize the egg. Kissing, touching, and felatio do not typically lead to pregnancy as they do not involve the direct transfer of sperm to the vagina.

    Which of the following is referred to as pregnant female? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is referred to as pregnant female?

    • Pregant

    • Gravida

    • Pregnant

    • Preg

    Correct Answer
    A. Gravida
    Explanation
    Gravida is the correct answer because it is a medical term used to refer to a pregnant female. It is derived from the Latin word "gravidus" which means pregnant. This term is commonly used in obstetrics to describe the number of times a woman has been pregnant, regardless of the outcome of those pregnancies.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
    __________ is term used to describe the number of times that a female has been pregnant. - ProProfs

    __________ is term used to describe the number of times that a female has been pregnant.

    • Pregnancity

    • Gravicle

    • Gravidity

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Gravidity
    Explanation
    Gravidity is the correct term used to describe the number of times that a female has been pregnant. It does not refer to the outcome of the pregnancies (whether they resulted in live births or not), but simply counts the number of times a woman has been pregnant. The term "pregnancity" does not exist, and "gravicle" is not a recognized medical term. Therefore, the correct answer is Gravidity.

    Pregnancy is typically broken into ______________ periods - ProProfs

    Pregnancy is typically broken into ______________ periods

    • 2

    • 1

    • 4

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    Pregnancy is typically broken into three periods. This is because pregnancy is divided into trimesters, with each trimester representing a distinct stage of fetal development. The first trimester is from week 1 to week 12, the second trimester is from week 13 to week 28, and the third trimester is from week 29 until delivery. These periods help healthcare providers monitor the progress of the pregnancy and ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby.
