1. What are the Carunculae Myrtiformes?

• A. Tissues between the vagina and the perineum
• B. A component of the clitoral prepuce
• C. The remnants of the torn hymen
• D. Structures that partially close the vaginal introitus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The Carunculae Myrtiformes are the remnants of the torn hymen. They are not tissues between the vagina and the perineum (Choice A), a part of the clitoral prepuce (Choice B), or structures that partially close the vaginal introitus (Choice D). Understanding the anatomy of the female reproductive system is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide accurate care and information.

2. Which of the following hormones promotes endometrial growth?

• A. LH
• B. FSH
• C. Estrogen
• D. Progesterone

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Estrogen is the hormone responsible for promoting endometrial growth. Estrogen helps thicken the endometrium during the menstrual cycle in preparation for implantation. LH (Choice A) and FSH (Choice B) are involved in regulating the menstrual cycle but do not directly promote endometrial growth. Progesterone (Choice D) is important for maintaining the endometrium after ovulation but is not the primary hormone responsible for promoting its growth.

3. What is the most common site for an ectopic pregnancy?

• A. Isthmus
• B. Ampulla
• C. Interstitial
• D. Infundibulum

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Interstitial. An ectopic pregnancy most commonly occurs in the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube. This is because the interstitial part is narrow and not suitable for the growing embryo, leading to implantation outside the uterus. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because although ectopic pregnancies can occur in various locations, the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube is the most frequent site for such pregnancies.

4. Which technique is used to detect HIV/AIDS?

• A. Northern blot and ELISA
• B. Immunoblot and ELISA
• C. Western blot and ELISA
• D. Southern blot and ELISA

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Western blot and ELISA. Western blot and ELISA are commonly used techniques in the detection of HIV/AIDS. Western blot is used to confirm the presence of HIV antibodies in a patient's blood after an initial positive ELISA test. Northern blotting is a technique used for RNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice A). Immunoblotting is another term for Western blotting, so Choice B is incorrect. Southern blotting is used for DNA analysis, not for detecting HIV/AIDS (Choice D).

5. The Gravindex test is used to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in:

• A. Urine or whole blood
• B. Amniotic fluid
• C. Saliva
• D. Cervical mucus

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Urine or whole blood. The Gravindex test is designed to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in urine or whole blood samples. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy, and its presence in urine or blood can indicate pregnancy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the Gravindex test is not intended to detect HCG in amniotic fluid, saliva, or cervical mucus. These bodily fluids are not typically used for pregnancy testing purposes.
