Which of the following statements about the Female Reproductive System is TRUE? Select one: A) Follicles are located in the ovarian cortex, which has a rich supply of blood vessels and nerve fibres. B) The female gonads secrete progesterone, estrogen, and oxytocin. C) Connective tissue makes up the walls of the ovaries, uterus, and vagi na – whereas epithelial tissue lines the inner sides of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and vagina. D) Microbial growth is deterred by the non-acidic environment of the vagi na. E) Each ovary is held in place within the abdominopelvic cavity by three ligaments – the broad, suspensory, and uterine ligaments.

Figure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.
Gross Anatomy of the Human Male and Female Reproductive System a) Assume that a couple has just consummated the sex act and that the sperm have been deposited in the vagina. Trace the pathway of the sperm through the female reproductive tract. b) Define ovulation. c)The testis is divided into a number of lobes by connective tissue. Each of these lobes contains one to four_______ which converge to empty sperm into another set of tubules called the_______
Which will most likely occur if the testes do not descend into the scrotum before puberty? O A) The androgens will not be produced ○ B) Sperm will be produced but will not move into the male reproductive ducts OD) Sperm production in the seminiferous tubule cannot occur D) The blood-testis barrier will not be formed OE). All of the above
Identify the female reproductive organ responsible for the following functions. 1.) female gonads that release the oocytes during ovulation. 2.) (Oviducts) where fertilization occurs. 3.) innermost lining of the uterus where embryo implants and develop 4.)(womb) Where the embryo develops. 5.)Projection of uterus into the vagina; leads to the uterus. 6.) main entrance to the female reproductive tract. 7.) the homologue of he penis in females.
What effect would a continuous supply of exogenous estrogen or progesterone have on an adult female human? Will it: A) Cause no oocyte maturation B) Have more frequent ovulation C) Contain a stronger surge in LH production at mid-cycle D) Ovulation of multiple oocytes per cycle E) High, steady FSH production
Which of the following statements are false? A) An oocyte completes meiosis after a sperm penetrates it. B) The earliest stages of spermatogenesis occur closest to the lumen of the seminiferous tubules. C) Fertilization occurs in the oviduct. D) Effective hormonal contraceptives are currently available only for females. E) Spermatogenesis and oogenesis require different temperatures. F) Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction wherein an organism produces gemmules which are collections of many cells surrounded by a body wall. G) Lobsters and insects can reproduce via fragmentation.
Which of the following causes bleeding (menstruation) during the menstrual cycle? a) Reduced release of progesterone from the ovaries b) Increased release of progesterone leading to blood clots c) Increased release of estrogen (estradiol) from the ovaries that simulates the uterine muscles to contract d) Reduced release of oxytocin which causes the uterine muscles to relax
Sperm generally can only enter the uterus from the vagina around the time of ovulation because… a) When oestrogens are elevated, the mucus in the cervix becomes non viscous allowing sperm penetration b) Elevated progesterone levels open the cervix allowing the sperm to enter c) The mucus in the cervix is normally thick and viscous allowing sperm to swim into the uterus d) The LH surge opens the cervix allowing the sperm to enter
The proliferative phase of the female menstrual cycle includes all the following except a) increased secretion of progesterone b ) the second week of the menstrual cycle O c ) late in this phase , cervical mucus becomes thin and crystalline d ) vesicular follicle growth
Shedding of the functional layer of the endometrium also known as menstruation occurs when a) the concentration of LH in the blood peaks b ) the corpus luteum degenerates and turns into corpus albican c ) blood level of progesterone from the corpus luteum increases e ) blood level of FSH falls off
Select the FALSE statement/s: A) The functional layer of the endometrium sloughs off when estrogen levels are at their lowest but progesterone levels at their highest. 1 OB) Every month, the 20 secondary follicles release 20 ova. OC) XX genotypic female exposed to high levels of androgen in utero will develop male-like exfernal genitalia OD) Both A and B OE) Both B and C
Gross Anatomy of the Human Male Reproductive System a) List the two main functions of the testis. b) Why are the testes located in the scrotum rather than inside the ventral body cavity? c) An enlarged prostate is associated with a number of disorders, including prostatitis and prostate cancer. Describe the diagnostic exam used to detect an enlarged prostate.
