Male sex chromosomes are represented as ________.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is C: XY. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. This combination determines an individual's sex. Choice A (XX) is incorrect because it represents the genotype for females. Choice B (XO) is incorrect as it denotes Turner syndrome in females with only one X chromosome. Choice D (XZ) is not a valid representation of male sex chromosomes in humans.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because mechanical stimulation and neural inputs do not directly stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete prolactin releasing factor and oxytocin. The release of prolactin is primarily controlled by the hypothalamus through the release of prolactin inhibitory hormone (dopamine) and prolactin releasing hormone. Oxytocin release is controlled by the hypothalamus in response to suckling. Choices A, C, and D are all correct statements about lactation. Plasma prolactin releasing factor (prolactin releasing hormone) does stimulate the release of prolactin, plasma oxytocin does stimulate milk ejection, and progesterone does prepare the mammary glands for lactation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cervix. The cervix is the inferior portion of the uterus that consists of two parts (supravaginal, vaginal), two openings (internal os, external os), and a cervical canal. The clitoris (A) is a small sensitive organ located at the top of the vulva. The ovary (B) is a female reproductive organ that produces eggs and hormones. Implantation (D) refers to the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterine lining, not a specific anatomical structure within the uterus. The cervix clearly fits the description provided, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: cervicitis. Cervicitis specifically refers to inflammation of the cervix, often due to an infection. Vaginitis (B) is inflammation of the vagina, not the cervix. Cercicopathy (C) is not a medical term. Vaginoplasty (D) is a surgical procedure to reconstruct or tighten the vagina, unrelated to inflammation or infection of the cervix.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the convoluted seminiferous tubules are indeed located in the lobules of the male gonad, which is the testis. These tubules are where spermatogenesis occurs, the process of sperm production. Option B is incorrect as the convoluted tubules do not continue with the deferent duct, but they connect to the straight tubules. Option C is incorrect because there are numerous convoluted seminiferous tubules within each testicular lobule, not just three. Option D is incorrect as the convoluted tubules do not continue with the straight tubules directly; they lead to the rete testis before connecting to the straight tubules.
