The space of Retzius (preperitoneal space) is located:
Between the urinary bladder and the symphysis pubis
It is not uncommon to see anterior artifact echoes in the urinary bladder. They are:
Wall reverberations
On sonograms, the muscular walls of the vagina produce a moderately ____ pattern typical of smooth muscle.
Hypoechoic
Which of the following describes the uterine segments?

What is the largest portion of the uterus?
Corpus
The uterine layer not seen with ultrasound is:
serosal (perimetrium)

On ultrasound, the cervix visualizes as a cylinder-like structure measuring from:
2.5 to 3.5 cm in length and 2.5 cm in width
Mittelschmerz is:
mid-cycle pain often associated with ovulation
One branch of the internal iliac artery is of importance to sonographers because it is accessible to Doppler evaluation using an endovaginal approach. It is the:
Uterine artery
Venous congestion appears as:
pelvic varices
Echogenic ovarian foci may indicate the presence of all except
simple cysts
Fat or smooth muscles are more ____ than the skeletal muscles
Echogenic
Uterine agenesis is imaged best in the:
Sagittal plane
Bicornuate uterus is related to:
Cervical incompetence
Complete midline failure of Müllerian duct fusion results in:

Endovaginal optimal focal range is from:
2 to 7 cm
Between puberty and menopause, approximately __ to__ fertile ova are produced.
300 to 400
Cysts of the cervix are caused by occluded cervical glands and known as:
Nabothian cysts
Failure of uterine median septum resorption results in:
Septate/subseptate uterus
The most frequent location of the transverse vaginal septum is the:
Junction of the upper and middle third of the vaginal canal
The ovary is suspended by all ligaments except:
Broad
The space of Retzius (preperitoneal space) is located:
Between the urinary bladder and the symphysis pubis
Uterine layers are:
Serosal (perimetrium), continuous with fascia; myometerium, smooth muscle and connective tissue; endometrium, mucosal
Uterus bicornis bicollis and uterus bicornis unicollis (to include uterus arcuatus) result from:
Partial fusion failure
