Which of the following statements is true concerning the mammary glands of both males and females?
Q. a.) Both sexes are equally prone to breast cancer
b.) All lumps identified in breast tissue are malignant.
c.) The only time hormones target breast tissue is during pregnancy and lactation.
d.) The mammary glands are modified sweat glands that are actually part of the integumentary system.

A. D) is correct. It is considered a modified sweat gland.

Women are more prone to breast cancer, but men can still get it.

Lumps in breast tissue can be anything from a plugged milk duct to cancer, so B is false.

C is wrong too because you also have hormonal influence on breast tissue in men who abuse steroids and take hormone injections, during menstruation, menopause, etc. etc.

what is the cervical postion when early in pregnancy?
Q. I know its low and firm while menstrating and before menstration...but what about during EARLY pregnancy?....I can't find it in my taking charge of your fertility book......any ideas?
well I didn't ask if its a clue to pregnancy.....I asked what position is it during early pregnancy.

A. Right after ovulation the cervix returns to the dryer, lower, closed state you noticed after menstruation.

During early pregnancy, the cervix becomes closed and blue in color. Cervical mucus also tends to change during this stage of your cycle, so the cervical mucus would begin increasing due to hormonal fluctuation and blood flow to the uterus.
During pregnancy, the cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman...
