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.


when does birth control pill start to effect?
Q. I started to take the Pills. I did my best to precisely follow the instructions: Took the first pill on the day when menstruation started, took the pill on the same time everyday. Now I am taking the second sheet of the Pill. I slept with my partner 14 days after the menstruation during the 7 days rest.
When can we say for sure that the Pill works properly....?

A. If you started during menstruation, you're protected from pregnancy immediately provided that you take the pills correctly- every day at the same time. If you start at any other time, it's 7 days of back up contraception before you're protected.

People who say it takes up to a month or longer for it to be effective are misled- it can take that long for your body to adjust, meaning that you might experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting between periods, nausea, breast tenderness, etc.. It does not, however, mean that you aren't protected from pregnancy.
