1. Which statement accurately describes the female pelvis?

• A. Gynaecoid pelvis has a wedge-shaped inlet
• B. Platypelloid pelvis has an oval inlet
• C. Anthropoid pelvis has a long narrow oval inlet
• D. Android pelvis is wedge-shaped

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the Platypelloid pelvis indeed has an oval inlet. Gynaecoid pelvis, not mentioned in the choices, has a round inlet. Anthropoid pelvis has a long, narrow oval inlet, which makes choice C incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as the Android pelvis is actually heart-shaped with a narrowed inlet.

2. The Wolffian duct is also known as ____________.

• A. Mesonephric duct
• B. Ejaculatory duct
• C. Major sublingual duct
• D. Cystic duct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mesonephric duct. The Wolffian duct is indeed also known as the mesonephric duct. This duct plays a vital role in the development of the male reproductive system by carrying sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. Choice B, Ejaculatory duct, is incorrect as it refers to a different duct responsible for transporting semen from the vas deferens. Choices C and D, Major sublingual duct and Cystic duct, are unrelated to the Wolffian duct and are not correct answers in this context.

3. Inevitable abortion is characterized by:

• A. Heavy bleeding.
• B. Open os.
• C. Severe cramping.
• D. Light bleeding.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion is characterized by an open os. This condition is associated with heavy bleeding. While severe cramping can be present in inevitable abortion, the key characteristic is the open os, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect because they do not specifically describe the defining feature of inevitable abortion, which is the open os.

4. What are the external organs of the female collectively known as?

• A. Vulva
• B. Frenulum
• C. Mons veneris
• D. Vestibule

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vulva. The external organs of the female reproductive system, including the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal opening, and Bartholin's glands, are collectively known as the vulva. Choice B, Frenulum, is incorrect as it refers to a small band of tissue. Choice C, Mons veneris, specifically refers to the rounded mass of fatty tissue located over the pubic bone, not all external female reproductive organs. Choice D, Vestibule, is incorrect as it is the space enclosed by the labia minora that includes the vaginal and urethral openings, not all external female reproductive organs.

5. Inevitable abortion occurs when:

• A. The ovum dies in utero and the decidua capsularis remains intact.
• B. The cervix is open, and the products of conception are about to be expelled.
• C. The products of conception are expelled before the 20th week of gestation.
• D. The fetus dies and is expelled in the first trimester.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Inevitable abortion occurs when the cervix is open, and the products of conception are about to be expelled. This is a critical point in the process of spontaneous abortion, indicating that expulsion of the products of conception is imminent. Choice A is incorrect as it describes a missed abortion where the ovum dies but the decidua capsularis remains intact. Choice C is incorrect as it describes an incomplete abortion where the products of conception are expelled before the completion of 20 weeks of gestation. Choice D is incorrect as it describes a missed abortion where the fetus dies and is expelled in the first trimester.
