Question 1 of 5

The embryo, upon reaching the UTERUS, will embed itself into the endometrium. This is called _____

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Implantation. After fertilization, the embryo travels through the fallopian tube and reaches the uterus. During implantation, the embryo attaches itself to the endometrium lining of the uterus for further development. Menopause (A) is the cessation of menstrual cycles, ovulation (B) is the release of an egg from the ovary, and menstruation (D) is the shedding of the uterine lining if fertilization does not occur.

Question 2 of 5

The seminal vesicle:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the seminal vesicle is indeed a pair organ, meaning there are two of them in the male reproductive system. They are located posterior to the urinary bladder and are responsible for producing and secreting a significant portion of the seminal fluid. Choice A is incorrect because the seminal vesicles are located behind the bladder, not above the prostate. Choice C is incorrect as the seminal vesicles are located laterally, not medially from the deferent ducts. Choice D is incorrect because the seminal vesicle is not an endocrine organ; it has an exocrine function in producing seminal fluid.

Question 3 of 5

The primary spermatocytes:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because primary spermatocytes are diploid cells, containing a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans). They are formed by spermatogonia through a process called meiosis. During meiosis, the primary spermatocytes undergo two divisions to generate haploid secondary spermatocytes with half the number of chromosomes. Choices A and C are incorrect because primary spermatocytes are formed by spermatogonia undergoing meiosis, not mitosis, and they generate secondary spermatocytes, not the other way around. Choice B is incorrect because primary spermatocytes are diploid, not haploid.

Question 4 of 5

The ovarian follicles are located in the following structures, EXCEPT:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, the uterus. Ovarian follicles are structures within the ovaries where oocytes (eggs) develop. The Fallopian tubes, medullar area, and cortical area of the ovary all contain ovarian follicles. The uterus, on the other hand, is not where ovarian follicles are located; it is the organ where a fertilized egg implants and a pregnancy develops. Therefore, the correct answer is B because the uterus is not a structure where ovarian follicles are present.

Question 5 of 5

The Fallopian tube is located between:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, ovary. The Fallopian tube is located between the ovary and the uterus. It serves as the passage for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus. The other choices are incorrect because the uterus (choice A) is where the fertilized egg implants and grows during pregnancy, the vagina (choice B) is the canal leading from the outside of the body to the uterus, and the vulva (choice D) is the external genitalia. Therefore, only the ovary (choice C) is the correct anatomical structure that is connected to the Fallopian tube.
