1. How does human sperm move?

• A. Flagella
• B. Cilia
• C. Neutrophils
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Human sperm moves using flagella, which are whip-like structures that aid in propulsion. Flagella are tail-like structures found in sperm cells and help them swim towards the egg for fertilization. Cilia are shorter, hair-like structures that are not involved in the movement of sperm. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response and are not related to sperm locomotion.

2. Which part of the female reproductive system remains blocked after tubectomy?

• A. Fallopian tube
• B. Cervix
• C. Uterine cavity
• D. None

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After a tubectomy procedure, the Fallopian tube remains blocked. This is the correct answer because tubectomy involves the surgical blocking or sealing of the Fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus, thus preventing pregnancy. Choice B, the cervix, is incorrect as it is not blocked during a tubectomy. Choice C, the uterine cavity, is also incorrect as the procedure does not involve blocking this part of the reproductive system. Choice D, none, is incorrect as the purpose of tubectomy is to block the Fallopian tubes.

3. What is Carboprost used for?

• A. Affects milk production.
• B. Relieve constriction ring.
• C. Management of post-partum haemorrhage.
• D. Induce labor.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Carboprost is used in the management of post-partum haemorrhage. This medication helps to reduce excessive bleeding after childbirth. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Carboprost does not affect milk production, relieve constriction ring, or induce labor.

4. Outlet of the true pelvis anteriorly bounded by:

• A. Ischiopubic arch (T)
• B. Linea terminalis (F)
• C. Coccyx (T)
• D. Promontory of the sacrum (F)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ischiopubic arch. The outlet of the true pelvis is indeed anteriorly bounded by the ischiopubic arch, which consists of the ischium and the pubic bones. This structure forms the lower boundary of the pelvic outlet. The other choices, B, C, and D, are incorrect. The linea terminalis (pelvic brim) forms the upper boundary of the true pelvis, the coccyx is part of the bony pelvis but does not bound the pelvic outlet anteriorly, and the promontory of the sacrum is located in the posterior part of the pelvis, not the anterior boundary of the pelvic outlet.

5. Which of the following is subsidiary uterine support?

• A. Suspensory ligament
• B. Cardinal ligament
• C. Transcervical ligament
• D. Maklouf ligament

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cardinal ligament. The cardinal ligament is a primary uterine support structure that helps to anchor the uterus in place. The suspensory ligament also provides support for the uterus but is not considered a subsidiary uterine support. The transcervical ligament does not exist in anatomical terminology. The Maklouf ligament is a fictitious term and not recognized as a subsidiary uterine support structure.
