• A. Menstruation that occurs at an interval less than 35 days
• B. Menstruation that occurs at an interval greater than 35 days
• C. Menstruation that occurs at an interval less than 21 days
• D. Menstruation that occurs at an interval greater than 21 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Polymenorrhoea is defined as menstruation that occurs at intervals shorter than 21 days. Choice A is incorrect because it describes menstruation at intervals less than 35 days. Choice B is incorrect as it describes menstruation at intervals greater than 35 days. Choice D is incorrect as it describes menstruation at intervals greater than 21 days.

2. Through which arteries does the blood supply to the external genitalia primarily occur?

• A. Femoral arteries
• B. Inguinal arteries
• C. Pudendal arteries
• D. Internal iliac arteries

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Pudendal arteries. The pudendal arteries are responsible for supplying blood to the external genitalia. These arteries specifically provide blood flow to the perineum, including the external genitalia. Choice A, Femoral arteries, are not primarily responsible for supplying blood to the external genitalia. Choice B, Inguinal arteries, do not supply blood directly to the external genitalia. Choice D, Internal iliac arteries, are not the main suppliers of blood to the external genitalia.

3. What does reproductive health refer to?

• A. Healthy baby
• B. Frequent coitus
• C. Healthy reproductive organs and functions
• D. Longer lifetime

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Reproductive health refers to the overall well-being of the reproductive system, including both the organs and their functions. It encompasses the ability to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the absence of reproductive problems. Choice A is incorrect because reproductive health is not solely about having a healthy baby but also includes the health of the individual. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses only on sexual activity frequency rather than the holistic well-being of the reproductive system. Choice D is incorrect because a longer lifetime does not specifically relate to reproductive health.

4. The endometrial tissue of the cervix is arranged in folds known as:

• A. Racemose glands
• B. Rugae
• C. Arbor vitae
• D. Peritoneum

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The endometrial tissue of the cervix is arranged in folds known as rugae, not Arbor vitae. Rugae are commonly found in anatomical structures like the stomach and bladder to allow expansion. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Racemose glands refer to branched compound glands, Arbor vitae is the tree-like appearance of the cerebellum, and Peritoneum is the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity.

5. What is a characteristic of threatening abortion?

• A. Os open.
• B. Firm contracted uterus.
• C. Heavy bleeding.
• D. Severe cramping.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Threatening abortion is characterized by a firm contracted uterus with an open os. This presentation indicates a risk of miscarriage. Choice A ('Os open') is not specific enough and does not fully describe the condition. Choices C ('Heavy bleeding') and D ('Severe cramping') can also be present in threatening abortion, but the primary characteristic is a firm contracted uterus with an open os.
