Question 1 of 5

Structurally, the testicle is made up of:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: lobules, delineated by connective septa. The testicle is structurally organized into lobules separated by connective tissue septa. Each lobule contains seminiferous tubules where sperm production occurs. This organization allows for efficient production and transport of sperm. Incorrect choices: A: Intratesticular spermatic ducts - Incorrect, as the testicle contains seminiferous tubules, not spermatic ducts. C: The cortical zone, in the center - Incorrect, as the testicle structure does not have a defined cortical zone. D: The medullar zone, at the periphery - Incorrect, as the medullary zone is not at the periphery but rather towards the center of the testicle.

Question 2 of 5

The testosterone secretion is controlled by:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Step 1: LH (luteinizing hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Step 2: Testosterone secretion is directly controlled by the LH through this stimulation. Step 3: FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is involved in sperm production, not testosterone secretion. Step 4: Corticoadrenal hormones are related to stress response, not testosterone regulation. Step 5: Negative feedback from the posterior pituitary does not directly control testosterone secretion. Therefore, the correct answer is B (the LH) as it directly influences testosterone production.

Question 3 of 5

Which statements about the ovarian follicles are true:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because ovarian follicles are actually present in the ovary since birth. They are formed during fetal development and remain in a dormant state until puberty. Choice A is incorrect because follicles are located in the medullary area of the ovary, not the cortical area. Choice C is incorrect because follicles are formed before puberty. Choice D is incorrect because follicles do not go through stages of evolution but rather stages of development.

Question 4 of 5

The uterus is a ...... organ:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: muscular. The uterus is composed of smooth muscle tissue, allowing it to contract during childbirth and menstruation. This contraction is essential for the expulsion of the fetus or uterine lining. Funnel-shaped (A) and cavitary (C) describe the shape and structure of the uterus, but they do not define its primary function. Unpaired (B) is incorrect as the uterus is a paired organ in the female reproductive system.

Question 5 of 5

Fecundation:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: consists in the fusion between the male and female gametes. Fecundation, also known as fertilization, is the process where a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a zygote. This is a crucial step in sexual reproduction. The male gamete (sperm) and the female gamete (egg) come together to combine their genetic material, resulting in the formation of a new individual. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Monospermic means involving only one sperm, which is not accurate as multiple sperm may reach the egg but only one will fertilize it. C) Grafting of the egg at the Fallopian tube is not how fertilization occurs; fertilization typically takes place in the fallopian tube but does not involve grafting. D) Fecundation does not require the existence of several fecundated spermatozoa; only one sperm is needed for fertilization to occur.
