1. What is the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography?

A. Check a woman's tubes and is done with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram
B. Detect Human Chorionic Gonadotrophic hormone (HCG) in urine or whole blood.
C. Diagnose ovarian cancer using MRI technology.
D. Detect cancer cells in the cervix.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography is a test used to check a woman's fallopian tubes with an X-ray and dye test called a hysterosalpingogram. This test is specifically designed to evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose of Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography.

2. A solid ball of 12-16 cells having undergone mitotic division after fertilization is:

A. Zygote
B. Blastomere
C. Morula
D. Blastocyst

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A morula is a stage in embryonic development where a solid ball of 12-16 cells is formed after several rounds of mitotic division following fertilization. The zygote is the initial cell formed by the fusion of sperm and egg. Blastomere refers to individual cells in a developing embryo. A blastocyst is a later stage where a fluid-filled cavity forms within the embryo. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Morula.'

3. How many arteries are there in an umbilical cord?

A. Three
B. One
C. Two
D. Four

Correct answer: C

Rationale: There are two arteries in an umbilical cord. The umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein. Artery carries blood away from the fetus, while the vein returns blood to the fetus. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct number of arteries in an umbilical cord.

C. Sterilization
D. Cervical caps

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Sterilization. Sterilization is a permanent form of birth control that involves surgical procedures to prevent pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes or vas deferens. Barrier methods physically prevent sperm from reaching the egg, such as vaults, diaphragms, and cervical caps. These devices create a barrier to sperm, unlike sterilization. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are all considered barrier methods of birth control.
