Human Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A corpus luteum would be present ________.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, after ovulation in a female. After ovulation, the ruptured follicle transforms into a corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone to support the uterine lining. Prior to ovulation (choice A) there is a mature follicle, not a corpus luteum. Choice C is incorrect as the corpus luteum is a structure in the female reproductive system, not present in semen. Choice D is incorrect as the corpus luteum persists for about 14 days after ovulation, not just on the day of ovulation.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following cells could be fertilized?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Secondary oocyte. After meiosis I, the primary oocyte forms a secondary oocyte. The secondary oocyte is the cell that can be fertilized by a sperm to form a zygote. Polar bodies are products of oogenesis that do not participate in fertilization. Oogonium is a primordial germ cell in the ovary that undergoes mitosis to form primary oocytes. Therefore, the secondary oocyte is the only viable option for fertilization among the choices provided.
Question 3 of 5
Bladder infections are known as
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: interstitial cell. Bladder infections are commonly referred to as cystitis, which is the inflammation of the bladder. Interstitial cells are found in the bladder wall and play a role in bladder function. Choice A, seminiferous tubule, is incorrect because it is a structure in the testes involved in sperm production. Choice B, nephritis, refers to inflammation of the kidneys, not the bladder. Choice D, diverticulitis, is inflammation of the diverticula in the colon, not related to bladder infections. Therefore, the most appropriate term for bladder infections is interstitial cell.
Question 4 of 5

Choice C, seminiferous tubule, is a part of the male reproductive system where sperm is produced. Choice D, menstruation, is the monthly shedding of the uterine lining in females, not related to male reproductive anatomy. Therefore, menarche is the only choice that does not pertain to male reproductive anatomy.
Question 5 of 5
The clusters of specific glands that cycle are known as ________. produce milk when a woman is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: the secretory phase. During the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, the glands in the breast tissue prepare for potential milk production. This phase occurs after ovulation when the body is getting ready for a possible pregnancy. The other choices are incorrect because: A: the menstrual phase refers to the shedding of the uterine lining, not the breast glands. C: lactiferous ducts are the tubes that carry milk from the glands to the nipple, not the clusters of glands themselves. D: menses refers to the menstrual bleeding period, not the phase in which the breast glands are active for milk production.
