Anatomy Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The cortical area of the ovary contains:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: The cortical area of the ovary is the outer layer where follicles develop. Step 2: Primordial follicles are the earliest stage of follicle development, found in the cortex. Step 3: Mature follicles are developed follicles located deeper in the ovary, not in the cortex. Step 4: Secondary follicles are also more developed than primordial follicles, located deeper. Step 5: Blood vessels are important for supplying nutrients but are not specific to the cortical area. Therefore, the correct answer is A as primordial follicles are located in the cortical area, while other choices are found in different regions of the ovary.
Question 2 of 5
The secretion of ovarian hormones is controlled by:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn regulate the secretion of ovarian hormones (estrogen and progesterone). The anterior pituitary secretes FSH and LH in response to GnRH from the hypothalamus. Therefore, the hypothalamus plays a crucial role in controlling the secretion of ovarian hormones. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the anterior pituitary releases FSH and LH but is not the primary controller, FSH is a hormone released by the anterior pituitary but is not the primary controller, and LH is released by the anterior pituitary but is not the primary controller of ovarian hormone secretion.
Question 3 of 5
One function of the placenta in a human is to
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the placenta serves as a barrier between the maternal and fetal bloodstreams, allowing for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products. This is crucial for the fetus's growth and development. Choice A is incorrect because the placenta does not physically surround the embryo. Choice B is incorrect as maternal and fetal blood do not mix due to the placental barrier. Choice C is incorrect as the heart of the fetus pumps blood, not the placenta.
