Question

which of the following epithelia is most resistant to gonorrhea?
vagina of a prepubescent female
fallopian tubes
vagina of an adult female
endbcervix
endometrium

Explanation:

Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which infects columnar or transitional epithelia. The vagina of an adult female has stratified squamous epithelium (keratinized or non - keratinized in different regions), which is more resistant to gonococcal infection compared to columnar epithelia (like in fallopian tubes, endocervix, endometrium) or the prepubescent vagina (which has a thinner, less - keratinized epithelium). The prepubescent vaginal epithelium is not as mature or keratinized as the adult female's. Fallopian tubes, endocervix, and endometrium have columnar epithelium which is susceptible. So the vagina of an adult female is most resistant.

Answer:

Vagina of an adult female
