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. During a vaginal examination, which of the following statements is true?

• A. Cervical scrapes cytology can be taken in the same setting.
• B. Preferably done after bimanual examination.
• C. The cervix is best visualized with the Crisco's type of spectrum.
• D. During pregnancy, the cervix feels firm like the tip of the nose.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. The cervix is best visualized with the Cusco's type of spectrum. This statement is true and important during a vaginal examination. Choice A is incorrect because cervical cytology scrapes can be taken during the same setting as a vaginal examination, not necessarily prior to it. Choice B is incorrect as it states 'after' bimanual examination, which is not the typical sequence. Choice D is incorrect because during pregnancy, the cervix feels soft rather than firm like the tip of the nose.

3. To minimize unsafe abortions, IRH has strengthened:

• A. The termination of pregnancy act
• B. The post-abortion care and counseling services
• C. The gender and violence unit of the police services
• D. The empowerment of all women who want to abort

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Post-abortion care and counseling services are crucial in reducing unsafe abortions by providing support, medical care, and guidance to individuals who have undergone abortions, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Strengthening the termination of pregnancy act (Choice A) might focus more on the legal aspects rather than the healthcare services needed post-abortion. The gender and violence unit of the police services (Choice C) is important for addressing gender-based violence but not directly related to reducing unsafe abortions. Empowering all women who want to abort (Choice D) is a broad concept that may not specifically address the need for comprehensive post-abortion care and counseling services.

4. Approximately how many primordial follicles are present in the cortex of the ovary at birth?

• A. 250,000
• B. 200,000
• C. 150,000
• D. 100,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 250,000. At birth, there are approximately 250,000 primordial follicles in the cortex of each ovary. These primordial follicles represent the reserve of oocytes that a female will have throughout her reproductive life. Choice B, 200,000, is incorrect as the number is higher. Choices C and D, 150,000 and 100,000 respectively, are also incorrect as they underestimate the actual number of primordial follicles present at birth.

5. Septic abortion is characterized by:

• A. Backache.
• B. Os open.
• C. Heavy bleeding.
• D. Maternal pyrexia.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Septic abortion is characterized by maternal pyrexia. Maternal pyrexia, or fever, is a hallmark sign of septic abortion due to infection. Backache and heavy bleeding can be present in abortion but are not specific to septic abortion. 'Os open' does not directly characterize septic abortion.
