d) the epithelium of ectocervix is colonized by a mutually symbiotic flora of microorganisms, like the vagina
A,b,d
Endometrium:
a) consists of the corona radiata and zona pellucida

c) consists of the functional and basal endometrium
d) is lined by the simple columnar epithelium
C,d
Myometrium:
a) consists of the connective tissue with the pieces of cartilage
b) consists of smooth muscle cells
c) is arranged in four regular layers known as zona glomerulosa, fasciculata, reticu-
laris and medulla
d) does not undergo any changes during the pregnancy
B
Myometrium:
a) is the middle layer of the uterine wall, consisting mainly of uterine smooth muscle cells
b) contains supporting stromal and vascular tissue
c) can contract
d) contains pieces of cartilage
A,b,c
Parametrium:
a) is formed by the simple columnar epithelium
b) is formed by the loose connective tissue around the uterus
c) contains lot of sero-mucous glands
d) contains the rings of hyaline cartilage
B
Perimetrium:
a) is the simple columnar epithelium lining the uterine cavity
b) is the layer of smooth muscle cells
c) is the endothelium lining the uterine arteries
d) is the peritoneum that is covering the fundus and ventral and dorsal aspects of the uterus
D
The endometrium:
a) is the innermost glandular layer of uterus
b) during the menstrual cycle grows to a thick, blood vessel-rich tissue layer
c) its thickness does not change during the menstrual cycle
d) does not contain any glandular cells
A,b
The endometrial lining:
a) remains constant during the whole cycle and the number of cells and their character does not change
b) undergoes cyclic regeneration
c) is formed by stratified cuboidal cells
d) contains no glands
B
The endometrium:
a) consists of a single layer of columnar epithelium resting on the stroma
b) simple tubular uterine glands which reach from the endometrial surface through to the base of the stroma
c) in a woman of reproductive age, two layers of endometrium can be distinguished – the functional and basal layer,
d) contains serous and mucous cells
A,b,c
The functional layer of endometrium:
a) is built up after the end of menstruation during the first part of the menstrual cycle
b) its proliferation is induced by estrogen
c) do not react on progestrone changes
d) is completely shed during menstruation
A,b,d
The basal layer of endometrium:
a) is adjacent to the myometrium
b) lies below the functional layer
c) is not shed at any time during the menstrual cycle
d) is the source of the functional layer of endometrium
A,b,c,d
The menstrual bleeding:
a) is caused by the decrease of progesterone levels
b) is caused by the constriction of arteries supplying blood to the functional layer
c) results from ischaemia of the cells in functional layer
d) is part of the menstrual cycle
A,b,c,d
The oviduct:
a) is lined by the simple columnar epithelium
b) allows passage of the morula to the uterus
c) contains sweat glands in its wall
d) its lumen is full of detritus under physiological conditions
A,b
The oviduct consists of:
a) the infundibulum with its associated fimbriae near the ovary
b) the ampullary region that represents the major portion of the lateral tube
c) the isthmus
d) the interstitial (also intramural) part that transverses the uterine musculature
A,b,c,d
In the lining of oviduct:
a) the cells are tall and form the simple columnar epithelium
b) there are some ciliated cells
c) there are some glandular cells which contain apical granules and produce the tubular fluid
d) there are squamous cells arranged in multiple layers
A,b,c
The ovary:
