Answer to Question 1

Mllerian refers to work attributed to, or anatomical elements described by, Johannes Mller. Mller described the mllerian ducts, also called the paramesonephric ducts, which are the embryonic tissues that form the fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus, and the superior segment of the vagina. This tissue is lost as the male fetus develops. Mllerian (duct) abnormalities refer to anatomic abnormalities involving this embryonic tissue that result in anomalies of the female reproductive structures. Patients with mllerian defects typically have normal ovaries and normal external genitalia, so anomalies are typically discovered after puberty or when attempting to conceive.

Answer to Question 2

E2 is a short form for estradiol. The 2 indicates two hydroxyl groups (diol) in the chemical structure. (Estrone has one hydroxyl group and estriol has three hydroxyl groups.)

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
