Answer to Question 1

2
Abduction is movement away from the body, and adduction is movement toward the body. Extension is a movement that increases the angle between two joints, and flexion is a movement that decreases the angle between two joints.

Answer to Question 2

3
At birth the ovaries contain between 2 and 4 million ova. Most of the ova degenerate across time until there are only 300,000 to 400,000 ova present at puberty. A woman may release fewer that 500 mature ova during monthly ovulation.
