Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

In the United States, men who have sex with men are the population with the highest prevalence and incidence of LGV. It is bacterial in etiology and affects more men than women.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The seminal vesicles consist of two highly tortuous tubes that secrete fluid for the semen. Each of the paired seminal vesicles is lined with secretory epithelium containing an abundance of fructose, prostaglandins, and several other proteins. The fructose secreted by the seminal vesicles provides the energy for sperm motility.
