Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, F
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results in progressive muscle weakening, atrophy, and contractures, beginning in early childhood. The age of onset is less than 5 years and the disease is characterized by delayed walking. A pseudo-hypertrophy of the calf (in which muscle is replaced by adipose tissue) may mask the disease to the inexperienced clinician. Affected children are usually unable to run.

Answer to Question 2

2; 3; 4; 5
Rationale:
1. The infundibulopelvic ligaments suspend and support the ovaries, not the uterus.
2. The broad ligament keeps the uterus centrally placed.
3. The uterosacral ligaments contribute to the pain of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation).
4. The ovarian ligaments anchor the ovary to the uterus.
5. The cardinal ligaments prevent uterine prolapse and support the upper vagina.
