Question 1 of 5
The convoluted seminiferous tubules:
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.
Question 2 of 5
The testicle secrets the following hormones:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: The testicles are primarily responsible for producing male sex hormones. Step 2: Testosterone is the main male sex hormone secreted by the testes. Step 3: Testosterone is an androgenic hormone responsible for male characteristics. Step 4: Progesterone is a female sex hormone, not primarily secreted by the testicles. Step 5: Therefore, the correct answer is C (testosterone).
Question 3 of 5
The ovule forms in:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: the mature ovarian follicle. 1. Ovule formation occurs within the ovary, specifically within a structure called the ovarian follicle. 2. The mature ovarian follicle contains the ovum (oocyte) which develops into the ovule. 3. The ovule is released during ovulation from the mature ovarian follicle. In contrast, the other choices are incorrect: A: The medullar area of the ovary does not play a direct role in ovule formation. C: The Fallopian tube is where fertilization typically occurs, not ovule formation. D: The uterus is not involved in ovule formation; it is the site of embryo implantation during pregnancy.
Question 4 of 5
The uterus displays the following components:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: the cervix. The cervix is a component of the uterus that connects the uterus to the vagina. It plays a crucial role in pregnancy, as it dilates during childbirth to allow the baby to pass through. The other choices, B: the corpus, C: the head, and D: the mid piece, are incorrect as they do not refer to components of the uterus. The corpus typically refers to the main body of an organ, while the head and mid piece are terms commonly associated with structures in cells or organisms, not the uterus.
Question 5 of 5
The child's sex is determined by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the sex of the child is determined by the sex chromosome carried by the spermatozoon that fertilizes the ovule. Sperm carries either an X or a Y chromosome, determining if the child will be male (XY) or female (XX). Choices A and B are incorrect because the type of spermatozoon or ovule does not solely determine the child's sex. Choice C is incorrect as well because the sex chromosome of the ovule alone does not determine the child's sex.
