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 hormone regulates the production of milk after childbirth?

• A. Prolactin
• B. Oxytocin
• C. Estrogen
• D. Progesterone

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Prolactin. Prolactin is the hormone responsible for regulating the production of milk after childbirth. It stimulates the mammary glands in the breasts to produce milk. Oxytocin, on the other hand, is responsible for the ejection of milk from the breasts. Estrogen and progesterone play roles in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy but are not directly involved in milk production. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.

3. What phase corresponds with the luteal phase?

• A. Menstrual phase
• B. Follicular phase
• C. Secretory phase
• D. Menstrual phase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The luteal phase corresponds with the secretory phase. During the menstrual cycle, the luteal phase follows ovulation and is characterized by the development of the corpus luteum, secreting progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a potential pregnancy. The other choices, menstrual phase (A), follicular phase (B), and the repeated choice of menstrual phase (D) do not align with the luteal phase and its functions.

4. Which of the following is NOT a strategy for family planning?

• A. Integrating family planning services with other Reproductive Health programs
• B. Expanding access to family planning through non-public delivery systems
• C. Targeting family planning services to priority groups
• D. Expanding programs of immunization

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Expanded programs of immunization are not considered a strategy for family planning. Immunization programs focus on preventing diseases through vaccines and are distinct from family planning strategies, which aim to help individuals and couples plan their desired family size and spacing of children. Choices A, B, and C are all valid strategies for family planning. Integrating family planning services with other reproductive health programs, expanding access to family planning through non-public delivery systems, and targeting family planning services to priority groups are common approaches to improve the availability and effectiveness of family planning services.

5. 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.
