Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Anatomically, there is a continuous passage from the vagina into the uterus and on into the fallopian tubes and ovaries. A vaginal infection can lead to residual scarring of the tubes from the inflammatory process. This puts the woman at increased risk for ectopic pregnancies and infertility. Not all vaginal infections are sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and to specifically ask about STIs sounds judgmental in addition to not providing adequate information. There are several treatment options for this woman. Genetic defects may play a role in this woman's problem, but the higher likelihood is that her scarred tubes are due to a vaginal infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Estrogen and progesterone are responsible for mediating the development of the uterine lining. Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates growth of the graafian follicle. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the development of the corpus luteum. Prostaglandins modulate hormonal activity and affect ovulation, fertility, and cervical mucus viscosity.
