1. What is another name for the breast?

• A. Sebaceous glands
• B. Racemose glands
• C. Mammary glands
• D. Axillary glands

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mammary glands. The mammary glands are the specific glands in the breast responsible for producing milk. Sebaceous glands (choice A) are oil-producing glands in the skin, racemose glands (choice B) are not a recognized term, and axillary glands (choice D) refer to glands found in the armpit region, not the breast.

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. 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.

4. Cryptorchidism is a condition where _________.

• A. One or both testes are not developed
• B. One or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum
• C. One or both testes are not formed
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum. This means that the testes do not properly move from the abdomen into the scrotum during fetal development. Choice A is incorrect because the issue is not about development but descent. Choice C is incorrect as it implies that the testes were never formed, which is not the case in cryptorchidism. Choice D is incorrect as cryptorchidism does involve the testes but rather their descent into the scrotum.

5. What prompted Zambia to implement family planning services?

• A. The nation started to experience the effects of rapid population growth on the economy and individual welfare.
• B. Donors provided free family planning pills.
• C. Mothers were delivering twice a year.
• D. There were too many abortions.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Rapid population growth's impact on the economy and individual welfare prompted Zambia to implement family planning services. This is because a rapidly growing population can strain resources, lead to unemployment, poverty, and inadequate access to healthcare. Choice B is incorrect because the provision of free family planning pills by donors may have been a subsequent intervention rather than the initial reason for implementing family planning services. Choice C is irrelevant as the frequency of deliveries by mothers does not directly relate to the implementation of family planning services. Choice D is also incorrect as high abortion rates may be a consequence of inadequate family planning services rather than the reason for their implementation.
