2. What is antrum (oocyte)?

Explanation

Antrum (oocyte) refers to the formation of a fluid-filled cavity adjacent to the oocyte during follicular development in the ovary. It plays a crucial role in the maturation of the oocyte and subsequent ovulation.

Submit
3. What is follicular fluid?

Explanation

Follicular fluid is a specific liquid found in the ovarian follicle and plays a key role in supporting the development and release of ova during the menstrual cycle.

Submit
4. What are Granulosa (follicular) Cells?

Explanation

Granulosa cells are somatic cells specifically associated with the development of female gametes, not male reproductive system. They are not involved in testosterone production and are indeed crucial in reproductive processes.

Submit
5. What is ovulation?

Explanation

Ovulation specifically refers to the release of an egg from the ovary during the menstrual cycle, and is essential for reproduction.

Submit
6. What is an ovum?

Explanation

An ovum is a female reproductive cell that can be fertilized by a sperm cell to form a zygote, which has the potential to develop into a new individual of the same species.

Submit
7. What is the role of progesterone in the female reproductive system?

Explanation

Progesterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It is produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation and helps prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy by thickening the endometrial lining. It does not stimulate the release of FSH and LH, initiate ovulation, or cause the release of an egg from the ovary.

Submit
8. What is the Endometrium?

Explanation

The endometrium refers to the inner lining of the uterus in females. It undergoes cyclical changes in response to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle or estrous cycle.

Submit
9. What is the myometrium?

Explanation

The myometrium is specifically related to the structure of the uterus, not other parts of the body.

Submit
10. What is the Uterus Internal OS?

Explanation

The Uterus Internal OS refers to the opening at the end of the cervix that connects the uterus to the vagina. It is an important anatomical structure in female reproductive system.

Submit
11. What is the length of the Uterus External OS?

Explanation

The correct length of the Uterus External OS is 2.5 cm which is approximately 1 inch. It is important to understand the anatomy of the female reproductive system for proper medical knowledge and care.

Submit
12. What is the primary function of female essential organs?

Explanation

Female essential organs are primarily responsible for the reproductive function of producing female gametes, leading to the potential for pregnancy and childbirth.

Submit
13. What are female accessory organs?

Explanation

Female accessory organs are not directly involved in reproduction, but play a significant role in supporting the reproductive process.

Submit
14. What is the vulva?

Explanation

The vulva refers to the external female genitalia, including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and vaginal opening.

Submit
15. What is the perineum?

Explanation

The perineum is a specific anatomical region of the body, not a type of fruit or bone. It is not the largest organ of the human body.

Submit
16. What is the function of ovaries?

Explanation

Ovaries are specifically related to the female reproductive system and are responsible for egg production.

Submit
17. What are considered female internal genitals?

Explanation

Female internal genitals refer to the reproductive organs specific to females, including the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina.

Submit
18. What is the Urogenital Triangle?

Explanation

The Urogenital Triangle is specifically related to the anterior part of the perineum, containing reproductive and excretory structures in female mammals. It is not related to digestion, geometric shapes, or the area of the skull housing the brain.

Submit
19. What is the Anal Triangle?

Explanation

The Anal Triangle is the posterior part of the perineum that houses the anal canal, distinct from the other incorrect options that contain different organs.

Submit
20. What is an episiotomy?

Explanation

An episiotomy is a common procedure during childbirth to facilitate the delivery process by creating more space in the vaginal opening. It is not related to the surgical removal of the placenta, epidural anesthesia, or labor induction.

Submit
21. What is the Ovarian Germinal Epithelium?

Explanation

The correct answer describes the ovarian germinal epithelium as a specific layer of epithelial cells covering the ovary, distinct from muscle tissue, cartilage, or connective tissue.

Submit
22. What are estrogens?

Explanation

Estrogens are a group of hormones primarily responsible for female characteristics and reproductive functions. They play a crucial role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and overall female health.

Submit
23. What is the primary reproductive organ in the lower body of a woman or female mammal where offspring are conceived and gestate before birth?

Explanation

The uterus is the organ where fertilized eggs are implanted and where gestation occurs before childbirth. The incorrect options are other reproductive organs in the female body, but they do not serve the same function as the uterus in the gestation process.

Submit
24. What are the 3 layers of tissues of the endometrium?

Explanation

The endometrium consists of three layers of tissues, which are the stratum compactum, stratum spongiosum, and stratum basale. These layers play crucial roles in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Submit
25. What is the perimetrium?

Explanation

The perimetrium is the external layer of the uterine wall, whereas the endometrium is the innermost layer that sheds during menstruation. It is important to differentiate between the different layers of the uterus to understand its function and structure.

Submit
26. What is the role of cervical fluid (mucus) in the female reproductive system?

Explanation

Cervical fluid (mucus) changes in consistency and appearance throughout the menstrual cycle, with its peak stretchiness indicating the most fertile period before ovulation. This fluid actually aids in sperm transport and survival, making conception more likely.

Submit
27. What are Female Accessory Organs?

Explanation

Female accessory organs are the reproductive organs that assist in the process of reproduction but are not directly involved in the production of egg cells or sperm. The correct answer includes the Uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina, which are essential for the development and transportation of egg cells.

Submit
28. What is a uterine contraction?

Explanation

Uterine contraction specifically refers to the muscle contraction of the uterine smooth muscle, which plays a crucial role during childbirth and menstruation.

Submit
29. What is the Mesovarian Ligament?

Explanation

The Mesovarian Ligament is specifically responsible for suspending the ovaries and is part of the broad ligament of the uterus. The other options do not accurately describe the Mesovarian Ligament.
