Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Treatment of vulvodynia necessitates a long-term, chronic pain approach; antidepressants and antiepileptic medications are often used. Alternative therapies, standard analgesic regimens, and simple lifestyle modifications are less likely to be effective.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B, C

Feedback:

In the absence of testosterone (and DHT), a male embryo with an XY chromosomal pattern develops female external genitalia. AMH suppresses the Mllerian ducts and prevents development of the uterus and fallopian tubes in the male. Acrosome is the outside of the anterior two thirds of the head of a sperm. For spermatogenesis to occur, FSH binds to specific receptors in Sertoli cells.
