    Release of an egg cell from an ovary.

    • Ovulation

    • Fertilization

    • Gestation

    • FSH

    Correct Answer
    A. Ovulation
    Explanation
    Ovulation refers to the release of an egg cell from an ovary. This process typically occurs once a month during a woman's menstrual cycle. The released egg then travels down the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm if sexual intercourse takes place. Ovulation is an essential step in the reproductive process and is necessary for conception to occur. Fertilization, on the other hand, is the fusion of the egg and sperm, while gestation refers to the period of pregnancy. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is a hormone that plays a role in stimulating the development of eggs in the ovaries.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cyanosis

    Surg. puncture to remove fluid from amnion.

    • Dialysis

    • Amniocentesis

    • Lumbar puncture

    • Amniectomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Amniocentesis
    Explanation
    Amniocentesis is a medical procedure that involves surgically puncturing the amniotic sac to remove fluid from the amnion. This procedure is typically performed during pregnancy to diagnose certain genetic conditions, assess fetal lung maturity, or detect any potential abnormalities. It is not related to dialysis, which is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from the blood in individuals with kidney failure. Lumbar puncture is a procedure that involves inserting a needle into the lower back to collect cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. Amniectomy, on the other hand, refers to the surgical removal of the amniotic sac, which is not the same as amniocentesis.

    Correct Answer
    A. Angioplasty
    Explanation
    Angioplasty is the correct answer because it refers to the surgical repair of a blood vessel. It is a medical procedure used to widen or unblock narrow or obstructed arteries or veins. During angioplasty, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the blood vessel and a balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated to open up the vessel. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease.
