1. Which of the following are layers of the anterior abdominal wall?

• A. Linear albicantes
• B. Superficial fascia
• C. Visceral peritoneum
• D. Fascia transversalis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Linear albicantes and B: Superficial fascia. Linear albicantes are stretch marks, and the superficial fascia is one of the layers of the anterior abdominal wall. Choices C and D, Visceral peritoneum and Fascia transversalis, respectively, are not layers of the anterior abdominal wall. The visceral peritoneum is a membrane covering the abdominal organs, and the fascia transversalis is a layer deep to the transversus abdominis muscle.

2. Which of the following is a contraceptive?

• A. Copper T
• B. Condom
• C. Diaphragm
• D. All of these

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, All of these. Copper T, Condom, and Diaphragm are all examples of contraceptives used to prevent pregnancy. Copper T is an intrauterine device (IUD) that is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Condoms are barrier contraceptives worn over the penis or inserted into the vagina to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Diaphragms are also barrier contraceptives that cover the cervix to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Therefore, all options listed (Copper T, Condom, Diaphragm) are indeed contraceptives, making 'All of these' the correct choice.

• A. Ciliated epithelium.
• B. Squamous epithelium.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Squamous epithelium. The vagina is lined with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium provides protection against abrasion and pathogens.

Choice C, Columnar epithelium, is incorrect as columnar epithelium is typically found in areas like the intestines. Choice D, Transitional epithelium, is incorrect as this type of epithelium is found in areas like the urinary bladder.
