Correct Answer
A. VulvaExplanation
The vulva refers to the external female genitalia, including the labia, clitoris, vaginal opening, and urethral opening. It is the visible part of the female reproductive system and plays a crucial role in sexual pleasure and reproduction. The term "vulva" is often used interchangeably with "vagina," but they are not the same. The vagina is the muscular canal that connects the vulva to the uterus. The ovaries, on the other hand, are the reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones, while the uterus is the organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus.Rate this question:

Following childbirth, mammary glands produce milk
- A.
Vestibule
- B.
Clitoris
- C.
Breast
- D.

Correct Answer
C. BreastExplanation
After childbirth, the mammary glands in a woman's breasts produce milk. This is a natural process that occurs to nourish and feed the newborn baby. The breasts undergo hormonal changes during pregnancy which prepare them for milk production. Once the baby is born, the hormone prolactin stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk. The milk is then released through the nipple for the baby to consume. The breast is the correct answer because it is the specific anatomical structure where milk production occurs.Rate this question:
