1. Which part of the pancreas is at risk for developing cancer the most?
a. Head
b. Tail
c. Equal chance in all part
d. Body
Answer: a. Head
Description:The head of the pancreas is the most common site for pancreatic cancer. This is because the head of the pancreas is where the pancreatic ducts meet the common bile duct. This makes it more likely for cancer cells to develop in this area. The body and tail of the pancreas are also at risk for developing cancer, but the risk is lower than in the head. Pancreatic cancer is a very serious disease. It is often difficult to diagnose early, and it has a high mortality rate. However, there are treatments available that can help to extend life and improve quality of life. Here are some additional information about pancreatic cancer: Symptoms: The symptoms of pancreatic cancer can vary depending on the location of the tumor. However, some common symptoms include: Pain: Pain in the upper abdomen is the most common symptom of pancreatic cancer. Weight loss: Weight loss is another common symptom of pancreatic cancer. Jaundice: Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes. Abdominal fullness: Abdominal fullness is a less common symptom of pancreatic cancer. Causes: The causes of pancreatic cancer are not fully understood. However, there are a number of factors that are thought to increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, including: Age: Pancreatic cancer is more common in people over the age of 50. Family history: People with a family history of pancreatic cancer are at an increased risk of developing the disease. Genetic mutations: Certain genetic mutations are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Diet: A diet high in red meat and processed meats is thought to increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Obesity: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Treatment: There is no cure for pancreatic cancer. However, there are treatments available that can help to extend life and improve quality of life. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
2. Which among the following is the most radio sensitive cancer?
a. Leukemia
b. Colorectal cancer
c. Adenocarcinoma
d. Renal cell carcinoma
Answer: a. Leukemia
Description:Radiosensitivity refers to the sensitivity of cancer cells to the effects of radiation therapy. Some cancers respond better to radiation treatment, while others may be more resistant. Leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, is considered one of the most radiosensitive cancers. Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat certain types of leukemia because leukemia cells are highly sensitive to radiation. Radiation can target and kill leukemia cells in the bone marrow and blood, helping to control the disease and achieve remission. Options b (renal cell carcinoma), c (colorectal cancer), and d (adenocarcinoma) are generally less radiosensitive compared to leukemia. However, it's important to note that the radiosensitivity of cancers can vary widely within each type and can depend on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the presence of certain genetic mutations, and the individual's overall health. Treatment decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the specific characteristics of the cancer and the patient's medical condition.
3. Which of the following is a feature of Lynch syndrome?
a. Multiple polyps beginning in adolescence
b. Autosomal dominant inherited
c. All of the above
d. Predominantly left-sided colon cancer
Answer: b. Autosomal dominant inherited
Description:Lynch syndrome is also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that is associated with a high risk of colon cancer. Lynch syndrome (LS) accounts for 2-4% of all diagnosed case of colorectal cancer (CRC). It is characterized by a relatively young age of onset (45 years) and predominantly right-sided colon cancer.
4. In male individuals, testosterone is normally produced by:
a. The epididymis
b. The interstitial cells of Leydig
c. The Sertoli cells.
d. The vas deference
Answer: b. The interstitial cells of Leydig
Description:Testosterone is a hormone that is produced in the male body by the interstitial cells of Leydig. These cells are found in the testes, which are the male reproductive organs. The Sertoli cells are also found in the testes, but they do not produce testosterone. The Sertoli cells are responsible for supporting the sperm cells and helping them to mature. The vas deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that stores sperm. Neither of these structures produces testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for a number of male characteristics, including: Muscle growth Body hair growth Deep voice Sex drive Testosterone levels decline naturally with age, but they can also decline due to certain medical conditions, such as low testosterone syndrome.
5. What is the WHO criterion for minimum sperm count in normal semen?
a. 60 million
b. 15 million
c. 60 million
d. 20 million
Answer: b. 15 million
Description:A normal sperm count is at least 15 million sperm per inhibiter of semen.
6. Find out the correct statement regarding Bartholin’s glands:
a. They secrete mucous.
b. Found posteriorly and to right and left of the opening of vagina.
c. Homologous to bulbourethral gland in males.
d. All of the above.
Answer: d. All of the above.
Description:The answer is d. All of the above. Bartholin's glands are a pair of pea-sized glands located on either side of the vaginal opening. They are homologous to the bulbourethral glands in males. The bulbourethral glands secrete a fluid that lubricates the urethra and helps to protect the sperm from the acidity of the vagina. Bartholin's glands secrete a clear, mucus-like fluid that helps to lubricate the vagina during sexual intercourse. The fluid also helps to protect the vagina from infection. If a Bartholin's gland becomes blocked, it can become infected. This is called a Bartholin's cyst. Bartholin's cysts are usually not serious, but they can be painful. Treatment for Bartholin's cysts may include antibiotics, warm compresses, or surgery. Here are some additional information about Bartholin's glands: Location: Bartholin's glands are located on either side of the vaginal opening, about 1-2 centimeters inside the labia majora. Size: Bartholin's glands are about the size of a pea. Function: Bartholin's glands secrete a clear, mucus-like fluid that helps to lubricate the vagina during sexual intercourse. The fluid also helps to protect the vagina from infection. Symptoms: If a Bartholin's gland becomes blocked, it can become infected. This is called a Bartholin's cyst. Bartholin's cysts are usually not serious, but they can be painful. Treatment for Bartholin's cysts may include antibiotics, warm compresses, or surgery.
7. Of the 46 chromones in the human cells,………………are autosomes, and………………are sex chromosomes.
a. 42, 4
b. 43, 3
c. 40, 6
d. 44, 2
Answer: d. 44, 2
Description:The human cells typically contain 46 chromosomes. Among these, 44 chromosomes are autosomes, and 2 chromosomes are sex chromosomes. Therefore, the correct answer is: d. 44, 2
8. Males are determined by:
a. A gene carried on chromosome pair number 21
b. The presence of a Y chromosome
c. A gene carried on chromosome pair number 1
d. The presence of only one type of X chromosome
Answer: b. The presence of a Y chromosome
Description:In humans, sex is determined by the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains a gene called SRY, which is responsible for the development of male sex organs. If a sperm cell carrying the Y chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting embryo will develop into a male. If a sperm cell carrying an X chromosome fertilizes an egg, the resulting embryo will develop into a female. Therefore, the presence of a Y chromosome is what determines male sex in humans. The other options are not correct. a. The presence of only one type of X chromosome: Females have two X chromosomes, but this does not determine their sex. c. A gene carried on chromosome pair number 21: Chromosome pair number 21 contains genes that are associated with Down syndrome, but it does not determine sex. d. A gene carried on chromosome pair number 1: Chromosome pair number 1 contains many genes, but none of them are responsible for determining sex.
9. Erection of the penis occurs as a result of:
a. Accumulation of lymphatic fluid
b. Contraction of the bulbourethral muscles
c. Movements of internal bones
d. Engorgement of erectile tissue with blood.
Answer: a. Accumulation of lymphatic fluid
Description:During sexual arousal, the spongy tissues in the penis, known as corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum, fill with blood, causing the penis to become larger, firmer, and erect. This increased blood flow to the erectile tissue is what leads to an erection.
10. The tests are located in the scrotum outside the body cavity because:
a. Are pushed but because there is no room in the body cavity.
b. Are closer to the penis than they would be in the body cavity
c. Must be at a lower temperature than the body cavity for sperm production
d. Are originally developed in the scrotum
Answer: c. Must be at a lower temperature than the body cavity for sperm production
Description:The tests (testes) are located in the scrotum outside the body cavity because they need to be at a lower temperature than the body cavity for sperm production. Sperm production is more efficient at slightly lower temperatures, which is why the scrotum acts as an external pouch to keep the testes cooler than the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is: c. Must be at a lower temperature than the body cavity for sperm production.
11. The forceful expulsion of semen from the urethra caused by the contraction of the smooth muscle in the urethra and skeletal muscle surrounding the base of the penis is called:
a. Ejaculation
b. Emission
c. Climax
d. Neutralization
Answer: a. Ejaculation
Description:Ejaculation is the forceful expulsion of semen from the urethra. It is caused by the contraction of the smooth muscle in the urethra and skeletal muscle surrounding the base of the penis. Semen is a mixture of sperm cells and seminal fluid. The sperm cells are produced in the testicles, and the seminal fluid is produced by the prostate gland and other glands in the male reproductive system. Emission is the release of semen from the epididymis and vas deferens into the urethra. It is a reflex action that is triggered by sexual stimulation. Climax is the peak of sexual excitement. It is often accompanied by muscle contractions, a feeling of pleasure, and the release of semen. Neutralization is the process of neutralizing an acid or base. It is not a term that is typically used to describe ejaculation.
12. The size of prostate is about the size of:
a. Pea.
b. Lime
c. Walnut
d. Grape
Answer: c. Walnut
Description:The size of the prostate is typically compared to that of a walnut. Therefore, the correct answer is: c. Walnut.
13. Function of prostate gland:
a. Makes fluid that nourishes sperm
b. Filters urine in men
c. Sterilizes urine in men
d. Backup storage for sperm
Answer: a. Makes fluid that nourishes sperm
Description:The prostate gland is a walnut-sized gland that is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It produces a milky fluid that is part of semen. The fluid helps to nourish sperm and protect them from the acidity of the vagina. The prostate gland also helps to control urination. It contracts to help push urine out of the bladder. The prostate gland can be affected by a number of conditions, including prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer. The other options are not correct. b. Sterilizes urine in men: The prostate gland does not sterilize urine in men. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, is responsible for sterilizing urine. c. Filters urine in men: The prostate gland does not filter urine in men. The kidneys are responsible for filtering urine. d. Backup storage for sperm: The prostate gland is not a backup storage for sperm. The testicles are responsible for storing sperm.
14. The tests are suspended in the scrotum in order to:
a. Protect the sperm from high abdominal temperature
b. Facilitate blood flow to tests during embryonic period
c. All of the above.
d. Protect the tests from traumatic injuries
Answer: c. All of the above.
Description:The tests (testes) are suspended in the scrotum for multiple reasons: a. Protect the sperm from high abdominal temperature: The scrotum's position outside the body cavity helps to keep the testes at a slightly lower temperature than the core body temperature. This is essential for proper sperm production, as sperm production is more efficient at slightly lower temperatures. b. Protect the testes from traumatic injuries: The scrotum acts as a protective pouch for the testes, reducing the risk of traumatic injuries that might occur if the testes were located inside the body. c. Facilitate blood flow to the testes during the embryonic period: During embryonic development, the testes descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum. The positioning in the scrotum allows for appropriate blood supply and development of the testes.
15. Abnormal communication between the urinary and genital tract is called genitourinary:
a. Fistula
b. Prolapse
c. Atresia
d. Tumor
Answer: a. Fistula
Description:A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs or body cavities. In the case of genitourinary fistula, there is an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and the genital tract. This can cause urine to leak from the vagina or urethra. Fistulas can be caused by a number of things, including infection, surgery, and childbirth. They can also be congenital, meaning that they are present at birth. Treatment for genitourinary fistula depends on the cause of the fistula and the severity of the symptoms. Treatment options may include surgery, antibiotics, or other medications. The other options are not correct. b. Tumor: A tumor is a mass of abnormal tissue that can grow in any part of the body. Tumors can be benign, meaning that they are not cancerous, or malignant, meaning that they are cancerous. c. Atresia: Atresia is the closure or absence of a normal opening or passage in the body. Atresia can affect the urinary tract, the genital tract, or other parts of the body. d. Prolapse: Prolapse is the downward displacement of an organ or tissue from its normal position. Prolapse can affect the uterus, the rectum, or other parts of the body.
16. Length of male urethra is:
a. 4 cm
b. 15 cm
c. 10 cm
d. 20 cm
Answer: d. 20 cm
Description:Length of male urethra is 20 cm and that female is 4 cm.
17. Fructose, a source of energy for spermatozoa, is found primarily in secretions from:
a. Prostrate
b. Bulbourethral glands
c. Epididymis
d. Seminal vesicles.
Answer: d. Seminal vesicles.
Description:The ejaculatory ducts are two small tubes that carry semen from the seminal vesicles to the prostate gland. The ejaculatory ducts open into the prostatic urethra, which is the part of the urethra that passes through the prostate gland. The seminal vesicles are two sac-like glands that are located behind the bladder. They produce a milky fluid that is part of semen. The fluid helps to nourish sperm and protect them from the acidity of the vagina. The prostatic urethra is the longest part of the urethra. It is about 2.5 centimeters long in adults. The prostatic urethra passes through the prostate gland and then continues as the membranous urethra and penile urethra. The other options are not correct. a. Membranous urethra: The membranous urethra is the shortest part of the urethra. It is about 1.2 centimeters long in adults. It is located between the prostate gland and the bulb of the penis. c. Penile urethra: The penile urethra is the part of the urethra that passes through the penis. It is about 15 centimeters long in adults. d. Seminal vesicles: The seminal vesicles are not located in the urethra. They are located behind the bladder.
18. Which among the following is present in male with hypospadias:
a. Unable to deposited sperms high in vagina
b. Hematuria
c. Unable to produce healthy sperm
d. Unable to deposited sperms high in vagina
Answer: d. Unable to deposited sperms high in vagina
Description:Hypospadias is a congenital condition in males where the opening of the urethra is located on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip. This abnormal positioning of the urethral opening can make it difficult for males with hypospadias to deposit sperm high in the vagina during sexual intercourse, which may affect fertility. However, it does not necessarily mean that they are unable to produce healthy sperm (option a) or that their sperm count will decrease (option b). Hematuria (blood in urine) is not a typical symptom of hypospadias and is unrelated to this condition.
19. The narrowest part of male urethra is the:
a. Membranous part
b. Internal urethral office
c. External urethral meatus
d. Prostatic part
Answer: c. External urethral meatus
Description:External urethral meatus. The external urethral meatus is the narrowest part of the male urethra. It is the external opening of the urethra through which urine and semen are expelled from the body. So, the correct answer is: c. External urethral meatus.
20. During intra-uterine life of fetal development majority of testicles descend into the scrotum by:
a. 30 weeks
b. 24 weeks
c. 28 weeks
d. 26 weeks
Answer: c. 28 weeks
Description:Testicles develop in the abdomen of the fetus. During the second trimester of pregnancy, the testicles normally descend into the scrotum. This process is called testicular descent. In most cases, the testicles descend into the scrotum by 28 weeks of pregnancy. However, in some cases, the testicles may not descend until after birth. This is called cryptorchidism. Cryptorchidism is a condition in which one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. It is a relatively common condition, affecting about 3% of male infants. Cryptorchidism is usually treated with surgery. The surgery is usually performed when the child is between 6 and 12 months old. The other options are not correct. a. 24 weeks: The testicles do not usually descend into the scrotum by 24 weeks of pregnancy. b. 26 weeks: The testicles do not usually descend into the scrotum by 26 weeks of pregnancy. d. 30 weeks: The testicles do not usually descend into the scrotum by 30 weeks of pregnancy.
21. All of the following enzymes are present in Leydig cells except:
a. CYPscc
b. 21-hydroxylase
c. 17-alpha hydroxylase
d. 17, 20 lyase
Answer: a. CYPscc
Description:• CYpscc is not present in Leydig cells. • The biosynthesis of testosterone requires the activities of four enzymes, cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450, c), 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/A5-A4 isomerase (3PHSD), 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17-20 lyase (P45017), Steroid 21-hydroxylase also called steroid 21-monooxygenase and 17-ketosteroid reductase.
22. Normal pH of Semen is:
a. Some-times acidic and some-time alkaline.
b. Alkaline
c. Acidic
d. Neutral
Answer: b. Alkaline
Description:The normal pH of semen is typically alkaline. It ranges from about 7.2 to 8.0, which is slightly basic on the pH scale. This alkaline pH helps to neutralize the acidic environment of the male urethra and female reproductive tract, providing a more favorable environment for sperm survival and motility.
23. Capacitance of sperm takes place in:
a. Vas deferens
b. Uterus
c. Epididymis
d. Testis
Answer: b. Uterus
Description:Capacitation is the process by which sperm cells become motile and able to fertilize an egg. It takes place in the female reproductive tract, specifically in the uterus. In the epididymis, sperm cells mature and become motile. However, they are not yet able to fertilize an egg. When sperm cells are ejaculated into the vagina, they travel through the cervix and into the uterus. In the uterus, the sperm cells undergo capacitation. This process is triggered by the fluids in the uterus. During capacitation, the sperm cells' membranes become more permeable. This allows the sperm cells to take in nutrients and oxygen. The sperm cells also become more motile. This allows them to swim up the fallopian tubes and reach the egg. If a sperm cell fertilizes an egg, the egg will begin to divide. The fertilized egg will then implant in the lining of the uterus and develop into a baby. The other options are not correct. a. Vas deferens: The vas deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. It is not where capacitation takes place. c. Epididymis: The epididymis is where sperm cells mature and become motile. However, it is not where capacitation takes place. d. Testis: The testis is where sperm cells are produced. However, it is not where capacitation takes place.
24. The process of maturation of sperm is referred as:
a. Spermatogenesis
b. Oogenesis
c. Orthogenesis
d. Ovogenesis
Answer: a. Spermatogenesis
Description:Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm cell development and maturation that occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. It involves the transformation of spermatogonia (diploid cells) into mature spermatozoa (sperm cells).
25. Ejaculatory duct opens into:
a. Penile urethra
b. Prostatic urethra
c. Membranous urethra
d. Seminal vesicles
Answer: b. Prostatic urethra
Description:The ejaculatory duct is a short duct formed by the union of the seminal vesicle duct and the vas deferens. It passes through the prostate gland and opens into the prostatic urethra. During ejaculation, sperm and seminal fluid pass through the ejaculatory duct and into the prostatic urethra, from where they are expelled out of the body through the external urethral meatus.
