Infection with which two high-risk HPV strains has been linked to more than 70 percent of all cervical cancer diagnoses?

  1. HPV 6 or HPV 11
  2. HPV 31 or HPV 33
  3. HPV 16 or HPV 18
  4. HPV 45 or HPV 52
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. HPV 16 or HPV 18

1. Most HPV infections do not cause disease, but certain high-risk strains can cause precancerous cervical changes. 2. Among the many HPV strains, only a couple are responsible for the large majority of cervical cancer cases. 3. These two variants directly. 4. HPV 6 or HPV 11 and HPV 31 or HPV 33 are both different figures a reader might guess from memory, but neither matches the specific figure given here. 5. HPV 45 or HPV 52 is also incorrect for the same reason: it does not match the specific figure given here. 6. They are HPV 16 and HPV 18, together linked to over 70 percent of cervical cancer diagnoses. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology (CC BY 4.0), Ch 27 "The Reproductive System", p.1305 §Female Reproductive System_

The milk-secreting cell clusters within the breast, which connect via lactiferous ducts to the nipple, are called:

  1. Areolae
  2. Lobules of the ovary
  3. Montgomery glands
  4. Alveoli
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Alveoli

1. Breast milk is produced by the mammary glands, which are modified sweat glands. 2. Within a glandular lobe, milk is produced by specific clusters of cells. 3. These milk-secreting clusters alveoli. 4. Milk moves from the alveoli through lactiferous ducts to the lactiferous sinuses and out through the nipple so 'areolae' (the pigmented skin area) is a different structure and is ruled out. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology (CC BY 4.0), Ch 27 "The Reproductive System", p.1306 §The Breasts_

The average worldwide age of menopause, defined as one full year without menstruation, falls between:

  1. 35 and 40 years
  2. 50 and 52 years
  3. 42 and 45 years
  4. 58 and 62 years
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 50 and 52 years

1. Menopause is the cessation of the menstrual cycle following the loss of ovarian follicles. 2. A woman is considered to have completed menopause after a full year without menstruating. 3. The average age for this transition is remarkably consistent worldwide. 4. That average range is 50 to 52 years of age. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology (CC BY 4.0), Ch 27 "The Reproductive System", p.1308 §Female Reproductive System_
