Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The mucosal lining of the cervix acts as a bacteriostatic agent. It also provides an alkaline environment, which is needed for sperm survival. The ovum is implanted in the endometrium, and muscle fibers are in the myometrium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The longitudinal, transverse, and oblique directions of the myometrium provide extreme strength to thin out, pull up, and dilate the cervix, as well as push out the fetus during labor.
