Illium, Ischium and Pubis
The death of the mother that results from obstetrical complications.
Direct maternal death
The uterine artery is a main branch of which of the following vessels?
Internal iliac artery
The fertility rate is the number of live births per 1000 females of what age?
15–44 years
The posterior division of the internal iliac artery contains which of the following?
Illiolumbar artery
The perinatal period starts after delivery at 20 weeks’ gestation or older. When does it end?
28 days after birth
Posterior Triangle is contains?
Ischioanal fossa

What artery may be lacerated during a Maylard incision?
Inferior epigastric artery
The inferior epigastric artery arises from which of the following?
External iliac artery
The common iliac artery arises directly from which of the following?
Aorta
Delivery at what age divides preterm from term gestations?
37 weeks
- A 24-year-old primigravida with no prior prenatal care presents with active preterm labor at 33 weeks’ gestation. Following admission to Labor and Delivery, she complains of dyspnea, suddenly collapses, and is unable to be resuscitated. Her fetus dies during attempted maternal resuscitation. Autopsy of the mother reveals marked right ventricular hypertrophy, and her peripheral pulmonary arteries microscopically show marked hypertrophy of the tunica media. How would her death be classified? RV = right ventricle; LV = left ventricle.
Indirect maternal death
Ligament corresponds embryologically to the male gubernacle?
Round ligament
The number of live births per 1000 populations.
Birth rate
Death after 7days but before 29days.
Late neonatal death
Pelvic diaphragm is composed of what muscles?
Levator ani and Coccygeus muscle

Cul de sac or pouch of Douglas
Also called the transverse cervical ligament or Mackenrodt ligament?
Cardinal ligament
Peritoneum that overlies the fallopian tube?
Mesosalpinx
Levator ani is composed of what muscles?
Pubococcygeus
Pubprectalis
Illicoccygeus
Pubococcygeus is also termed?
Pubovisceral muscle
Engagement occurs when the biparietal diameter of the fetal head descends below the level of which of the following?
