1. Which space is present between the bladder and the uterus?

• A. Vesico-uterine pouch
• B. Pubovesical pouch
• C. Retro-uterine pouch
• D. Recto-uterine pouch

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is the vesico-uterine pouch. This space is specifically located between the bladder and the uterus. The pubovesical pouch is incorrect as it refers to the space between the pubic bone and the bladder. The retro-uterine pouch, also known as the pouch of Douglas, is located between the uterus and rectum. The recto-uterine pouch is not a recognized anatomical term, making it an incorrect choice.

2. Which contraceptive option suppresses sperm motility and inhibits the implantation of the blastocyst?

• A. Copper-T
• B. Diaphragm
• C. Contraceptive pills
• D. Condom

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Copper-T. Copper-T is an intrauterine device that releases copper ions, which suppress sperm motility and inhibit the implantation of the blastocyst. This method mainly works by preventing fertilization and, if fertilization occurs, by making the endometrium less receptive to implantation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. The diaphragm is a barrier method that prevents sperm from reaching the cervix; contraceptive pills mainly work by suppressing ovulation and altering cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg; condoms are barrier methods that prevent sperm from entering the vagina.

3. A menstrual disorder with irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus is known as:

• A. Menorrhagia
• B. Metrorrhagia
• C. Polymenorrhoea
• D. Epimenorrhoea

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Metrorrhagia is the correct term for irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus. Menorrhagia refers to heavy menstrual bleeding, not necessarily irregular. Polymenorrhoea is characterized by frequent menstrual periods, while Epimenorrhoea is not a recognized medical term related to menstrual disorders.

4. What is Dinoprostone commonly used for?

• A. Cervical priming.
• B. Pain management during labor.
• C. Management of pre-term labor.
• D. Management of post-partum hemorrhage.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Dinoprostone is commonly used for the management of pre-term labor. While it can be used for cervical priming, its primary indication is for pre-term labor. Choice A is partially correct but not the most common use of Dinoprostone. Choices B and D are incorrect as Dinoprostone is not primarily used for pain management during labor or for the management of post-partum hemorrhage.

5. Which of the following structures is responsible for the production of sperm?

• A. Epididymis
• B. Seminal vesicles
• C. Testes
• D. Prostate gland

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The testes are the male reproductive organs responsible for the production of sperm through a process called spermatogenesis. The epididymis is a structure where sperm mature and are stored temporarily. Seminal vesicles produce a significant portion of the fluid that ultimately becomes semen, but they do not produce sperm. The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to semen but does not produce sperm. Therefore, the correct answer is the testes.
