The phase of the menstrual cycle that occurs between the expulsion of the ovum from the ovary and the onset of menses is the phase.
proliferative
follicular
luteal
estrogenic
The Correct Answer is C
A. proliferative: This phase occurs before ovulation, during which the uterine lining builds up.
B. follicular: This phase occurs before ovulation, while the egg is maturing inside the follicle.
C. luteal: This is the correct phase; it begins after ovulation (formation of the corpus luteum) and ends when menses starts.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. inspiratory capacity and the residual volume: Residual volume cannot be exhaled and is therefore not part of vital capacity.
B. inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume: Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after maximum inhalation.
C. tidal volume, residual volume, and expiratory reserve volume: This is incorrect because it includes residual volume (air that stays in the lungs) and excludes inspiratory reserve.
D. inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and inspiratory capacity: This is incorrect because inspiratory capacity already includes tidal volume, making the calculation redundant and incomplete.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Oropharynx: The oropharynx is the middle part of the throat behind the mouth. It is the primary pathway food must travel through to reach the esophagus; therefore, it cannot be blocked during swallowing.
B. Nasopharynx: This must be blocked by the soft palate and uvula to prevent food and liquids from entering the nasal cavity.
C. Larynx: The larynx must be blocked by the epiglottis to prevent food from entering the "windpipe" and causing choking.
D. Mouth: The tongue blocks the front of the mouth during the "oral stage" of swallowing to ensure food moves backward into the throat rather than forward out of the lips.
