Reproductive System Exam Quizlet

1. What type of epithelium lines the fallopian tubes?

A. Ciliated epithelium.
B. Stratified epithelium.
C. Columnar epithelium.
D. Endometrium.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ciliated epithelium. The fallopian tubes are lined with ciliated epithelium, which helps to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Choice B, Stratified epithelium, is incorrect because the fallopian tubes are lined with a single layer of cells. Choice C, Columnar epithelium, is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the lining of the fallopian tubes. Choice D, Endometrium, is incorrect because the endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, not the fallopian tubes.

2. What is one role of the hormone estrogen?

A. Stimulates the development of the milk-producing tissue.
B. Stimulates the production of lactoferrin.
C. Stimulates the development of the nipple and duct system in the breast.
D. Stimulates the secretion of relaxin.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Estrogen stimulates the development of the milk-producing tissue in the breast. This hormone is essential in preparing the breast for milk production. Choice B is incorrect because lactoferrin production is not a primary role of estrogen. Choice C is incorrect as estrogen primarily influences the development of the breast tissue rather than specifically the nipple and duct system. Choice D is incorrect because relaxin secretion is not a function typically associated with estrogen.

3. 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.

4. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is best for:

A. Clients who do not wish to have any more children
B. Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum
C. Clients who want to wait before having a first or another child
D. Clients with several sexual partners

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clients with a baby less than 6 months postpartum. Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is a highly effective temporary family planning method that is recommended for women who have recently given birth and are breastfeeding. LAM works best when the baby is less than 6 months old, the mother is exclusively breastfeeding, and her menstrual periods have not resumed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because LAM is specifically designed for postpartum women with infants less than 6 months old, focusing on the lactational infertility that occurs during exclusive breastfeeding.

5. Which group of the population does the Maternal nutrition component of IRH improve?

A. Women and adolescent girls
B. Pregnant women alone
C. Pregnant women and all children under five
D. All adolescents

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Women and adolescent girls. Maternal nutrition programs typically target women of reproductive age and adolescent girls to improve their health outcomes. Option B is incorrect because maternal nutrition initiatives extend beyond just pregnant women. Option C is incorrect because the focus is not on all children under five but specifically on women and adolescent girls. Option D is incorrect because the program does not target all adolescents, but rather women and adolescent girls.
