Answer to Question 1

ANS:
a, c, d, b, d, a, c, b
The gynecoid pelvis is the typical female pelvis best suited for vaginal delivery. The android pelvis is triangular (or heart-shaped) and the shape can cause difficulty during fetal descent. The anthropoid pelvis is more likely to result in a posterior fetal presentation due to its oval shape at the inlet that is in the anterior-posterior plane. The platypelloid pelvis usually prevents vaginal delivery owing to the fetus descending in a transverse presentation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
The menstrual cycle is controlled by complex interactions between hormones secreted by the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and ovaries.
