- Which of the following statements does NOT correctly describe a difference between the male and female reproductive systems? Select one: a. Testosterone has a major role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in male reproductive systems, whereas LH promotes the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females. b. The male reproductive system mass produces large quantities of gametes each day, whereas the female reproductive system produces an average of a single gamete each month. c. The excretory and reproductive systems both use the urethra in males, whereas in females, there are separate tubes for the excretory and reproductive systems. d. The structures that produce gametes are exterior to the body in the male reproductive system, whereas the gametes are produced inside the body for females.arrow_forwardComplete the concept map to describe the regulation of the uterine cycle including some of the physiological effects of estrogen and progesterone on the uterus.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements does NOT correctly describe the similarities and differences between male and female reproductive systems? Select one: a. Millions of mature sperm are produced on a daily basis, whereas single mature ovum is released every 28 days. b. Meiosis is completed in eggs after fertilization begins, whereas a mature sperm has completed meiosis prior to fertilization. c. Eggs and sperm contain exactly half of the genetic material of a normal somatic cell. Many zygotes with an abnormal number of genetic material often do not successfully implant. d.

- Which description below explains how the hormones released in birth control pills causes natural ovulation to cease? Select one: a. Birth control pills release estrogen. Estrogen controls the secondary sex characteristics of the female body. b. Birth control pills release progesterone. Progesterone feeds back to the pituitary gland, thereby inhibiting FSH and LH and in effect, stopping the ovarian and menstrual cycle. c. Birth control pills release progesterone. Progesterone causes an increase in FSH, thereby increasing the production of follicles. d. Birth control pills release estrogen. Estrogen feeds back to the posterior pituitary, causing an increase of LH and thereby ceasing the ovarian cycle.arrow_forwardFigure 18.17 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? a. LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. b. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. c. Both progesterone and estrogen are produced by the follicles. d.
