Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Normal variations of uterine position include anteversion (the uterus is tilted forward, the cervix is tilted downward), midposition (the uterus lies parallel to the tailbone, the cervix is pointed straight), and retroversion (the uterus is tilted backward, the cervix is tilted upward). Abnormal variations of uterine position include retroflexion (the uterus is folded backward at a 90-degree angle, the cervix is tilted upward).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 4, 5
The female external genitalia include the clitoris, labia majora, and the labia minora. The vagina and cervix are considered to be internal genitalia.
