11. To determine the portal of entry for contaminated l secretions, we need to understand which system is involved in the transmission. l secretions are related to the reproductive system, specifically to the female reproductive organs. The system that encompasses these organs is the genitourinary system, which includes both the reproductive and urinary systems. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Genitourinary.

12. Kaposi's sarcoma is often associated with HIV infection. To determine the likely infection accompanying Kaposi's sarcoma, we need to identify the cause of this cancer. It is caused by a virus called the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). This virus is most commonly transmitted thual contact or blood transfusions. Among the answer choices, the only option related to viral infection is B. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which is known to weaken the immune system and increase the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma. Therefore, the correct answer is B. HIV.

13. The procedure used to remove kidney stones by breaking them up in the urinary tract and allowing them to wash out with urine is called lithotripsy. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the meaning of each answer choice related to this procedure. A. Ureterolithotomy involves surgical removal of a stone in the ureter, while D. Nephrolithotomy refers to the surgical removal of a stone in the kidney. B. Lithopaxy is not a valid term related to this procedure. Finally, C. Lithotripsy refers to the use of sound waves or shock waves to break up stones in the urinary tract. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Lithotripsy.

14. The convulsive stage of toxemia of pregnancy is known as eclampsia. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the meaning of each answer choice. C. Carcinoma in situ refers to a non-invasive stage of cancer, while B. Dyspareunia is the medical term for pain during sexual intercourse. D. Colposcopy is a procedure to examine the cervix and . The convulsive stage of toxemia of pregnancy, which is characterized by seizures, is specifically known as eclampsia. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Eclampsia.

15. When comparing the blood smears of patients with intact spleens to those without spleens, we need to understand how the spleen affects the composition of blood smears. The spleen is responsible for filtering blood and removing old or damaged red blood cells. So, in patients without spleens, we would expect to see fewer old or fragile erythrocytes (red blood cells) in their blood smears compared to patients with intact spleens. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Many more fragile and old erythrocytes.

16. To determine the term that does not refer to the female womb, we need to understand the meaning of each answer choice. A. METR/O refers to the uterus, C. UTER/O refers to the uterus, and B. HYSTER/O also refers to the uterus. However, D. PELVIC/O refers to the pelvic region, which includes various organs such as the uterus but is not specific to the uterus itself. Therefore, the correct answer is D. PELVIC/O.

17. The period of time when the uterus returns to its normal size after childbirth is known as the puerperium. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the period and process mentioned in each answer choice. A. The luteal phase is a phase of the menstrual cycle that occurs after ovulation. B. Menarche is the onset of the first menstrual period. D. Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Puerperium.

18. When dealing with a viral illness, there is no direct cure available. Treatment typically focuses on alleviating symptoms and supporting the body's immune response. Among the answer choices, the best treatment for a viral illness like the one described in the question (fever, extreme fatigue, and enlarged lymph nodes) is simply supportive care, which includes rest and allowing the body's immune system to fight off the infection. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Bed rest.

19. HIV and AIDS are related, but they are not the same. To distinguish between HIV and AIDS, we need to identify a characteristic that sets them apart. While factors such as the length of time since HIV infection, mode of transmission, and treatment options can vary, the most distinguishing characteristic between HIV and AIDS is the development of opportunistic infections. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), and when a person's immune system becomes severely weakened by HIV, they are at a greater risk for opportunistic infections, which are infections that take advantage of the weakened immune system. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The development of opportunistic infections.

20. To determine which component contains erythrocytes, we need to understand the function of each option and identify the one that relates to blood cells. A. Lymph fluid is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system and does not contain erythrocytes (red blood cells). C. Lymph nodes filter and trap pathogens, but they do not contain erythrocytes. B. Lymph vessels transport lymph fluid, but they do not contain erythrocytes. However, D. The spleen is an organ that filters blood and contains erythrocytes, among other components. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Spleen.
