Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cryptorchidism is a group of abnormalities in which the testis fails to descend completely, whereas an ectopic testis has strayed from the normal pathway of descent. Cryptorchidism is not a condition associated with either testicular overdevelopment or a lack of a scrotum.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis. Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be retracted back over the glans. Priapism is a prolonged erection. A hydrocele is a collec-tion of fluid within the tunica vaginalis.
