Metal clamps placed around baby's head to assist in birthing
Correct Answer
ForcepsExplanation
Forceps are a medical instrument used during childbirth to assist in the delivery of a baby. They are metal clamps that are carefully placed around the baby's head to provide traction and help guide the baby through the birth canal. This can be necessary in cases where the mother is having difficulty pushing or if there is a risk to the baby's health. Forceps allow the doctor to gently maneuver the baby's head and facilitate a safe delivery.Rate this question:
- 5.
The age of viability occures sometime between 22 and 26 weeks
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The age of viability refers to the point in pregnancy when a fetus has a chance of surviving outside the womb. It is generally considered to be around 22 to 26 weeks gestation. At this stage, the fetus has developed enough to potentially survive with medical intervention, although the chances of survival increase as the pregnancy progresses. Therefore, the statement that the age of viability occurs sometime between 22 and 26 weeks is true.Rate this question:

Position of the baby in uterus so butt or feet is first
Correct Answer
BreechExplanation
The correct answer is "Breech". Breech refers to the position of the baby in the uterus where the buttocks or feet are positioned first, instead of the head. This position is considered abnormal and can pose risks during delivery. It may increase the chances of complications such as umbilical cord prolapse or difficulty in delivering the baby's head. In such cases, a healthcare provider may recommend a cesarean section to ensure a safe delivery.Rate this question:
- 8.
Fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tubes
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tubes because this is where the sperm and egg meet. After sexual intercourse, the sperm travels through the cervix and into the uterus, then into the fallopian tubes. If an egg is present in the fallopian tube, it can be fertilized by the sperm. The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus for implantation and pregnancy to occur. Therefore, it is true that fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tubes.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
Cells Duplication
Correct Answer
MitosisExplanation
Mitosis is the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. During mitosis, the genetic material of the cell is replicated and then evenly distributed into the two daughter cells. This process is important for growth, development, and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms. Therefore, the answer "Mitosis" is correct because it accurately describes the process of cell duplication.Rate this question:

-
Fetus
-
Embryo
-
Baby
-
Blastocyst
Correct Answer
A. FetusExplanation
The correct answer is Fetus. The term "fetus" refers to the prenatal organism from the ninth week until the end of the pregnancy. During this stage, the fetus undergoes significant growth and development, with all major organs and body systems forming. It is during this period that the fetus becomes more recognizable as a human being, with distinct features and movements. The term "fetus" is commonly used in medical and scientific contexts to describe this specific stage of prenatal development.Rate this question:

-
Tonic Neck
Correct Answer
A. SuckingExplanation
Sucking is the correct answer because it refers to the action of drawing in fluid or food through the mouth. This action is commonly observed in infants who breastfeed or bottle-feed. Sucking is an essential reflex for newborns as it allows them to consume nutrients and satisfy their hunger. It is a natural instinct that helps infants survive and thrive in their early stages of life.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
As many as 50 % of the zygotes do not survive the first two weeks
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement claims that 50% of zygotes do not survive the first two weeks, but this is incorrect. Zygotes are the fertilized eggs that develop into embryos, and it is estimated that a significant percentage of zygotes do not successfully implant in the uterus and therefore do not develop further. However, it is not accurate to say that 50% of zygotes do not survive the first two weeks, as the actual percentage may vary and is not specified in the statement. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

When present in the fetus blood but not in the mothers the ___ factor may cause the mother to build up antibodies that destropy the fetus' red blood cells.
-
RH
-
DH
-
EH
-
FH
Correct Answer
A. RHExplanation
The RH factor refers to the presence or absence of a specific protein on the surface of red blood cells. If the fetus has the RH factor but the mother does not, the mother's immune system may recognize the fetus' red blood cells as foreign and produce antibodies against them. These antibodies can then cross the placenta and attack the fetus' red blood cells, leading to a condition known as hemolytic disease of the newborn.Rate this question:

Newborns sleep 22 hrs a day
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Newborns do not sleep for 22 hours a day. While it is true that newborns sleep for a significant amount of time, the average newborn sleeps for around 16 to 17 hours a day. This sleep is often divided into multiple short periods throughout the day and night. As they grow, newborns gradually start to sleep for shorter periods and stay awake for longer stretches. Therefore, the statement that newborns sleep for 22 hours a day is false.Rate this question:

The hight fetal activity in the last weeks of pregnancy predict a more passive infant in the first month of life
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that high fetal activity in the last weeks of pregnancy predicts a more passive infant in the first month of life. However, this is not true. Fetal activity in the womb does not necessarily correlate with the behavior of the infant after birth. The behavior of the infant is influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and individual temperament. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:
-
- 29.
Inadequate oxygen supply
Correct Answer
AnoxiaExplanation
Anoxia refers to a condition where there is a complete lack of oxygen supply to the body or a specific organ. This can occur due to various reasons such as respiratory failure, heart attack, or suffocation. Inadequate oxygen supply can lead to anoxia, causing severe damage to the affected tissues and organs. This condition can have serious consequences and may result in brain damage, organ failure, or even death if not treated promptly.Rate this question:

Climas of the first stage of labor, the frequency and stregnth of contractions peak
Correct Answer
transitionExplanation
During the first stage of labor, the frequency and strength of contractions gradually increase. However, during the transition phase, these contractions reach their peak in terms of both frequency and strength. This is the stage where the cervix fully dilates and prepares for the second stage of labor. Therefore, the answer "transition" accurately describes this specific phase of labor.Rate this question:
- 31.
Pattern inheritance in which both alleles are expressed in Phenotype
Correct Answer
Incomplete DominanceExplanation
Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between the two homozygotes. In this pattern of inheritance, neither allele is completely dominant or recessive, and both alleles are expressed in the phenotype. This means that the traits from both alleles contribute to the physical characteristics of the organism. For example, in the case of incomplete dominance in flower color, a red flower crossed with a white flower would produce offspring with pink flowers, as the red allele and white allele blend together to create a new phenotype.Rate this question:
