Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Adrenarche (the time when androgen secretion leads to axillary and pubic hair) occurs at an average age of 10, so girls around that time will start noticing this change and thinking about shaving. The adolescent growth spurt is not completed for girls until an average age of 11.8, but in calculating an average, older and younger ages are included. Feminine supplies should be on hand for a girl to use earlier than age 14, because the average age of menarche is 12.8. Breast budding begins on average at 9.8 years.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
The labia minora resemble mucus membrane and do not have hair follicles. They provide lubrication and protective bacteriocidal secretions. The Skene's and Bartholin's glands are found in the vestibule of the vagina. The primary organ of sexual pleasure in women is the clitoris. The labia majora share an extensive network of lymphatics with other vulvar structures, leading to rapid spread of malignant disease.
