Reproductive System Anatomy Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The primary oocyte completes its first meiotic division
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the primary oocyte completes its first meiotic division just before fertilization. This occurs when the oocyte is released from the ovary during ovulation. The meiotic division is completed when the sperm penetrates the oocyte, forming a zygote. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the primary oocyte does not complete its first meiotic division during fetal development, just after ovulation, or just before ovulation.
Question 2 of 5
Also called the mammary gland, two of these are located at the chest level and produce milk for the newborn baby.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Breast. The mammary glands, also known as breasts, are located at the chest level and produce milk for the newborn baby. This is a basic anatomical fact. B: Ovary is incorrect as ovaries are reproductive organs in females that produce eggs, not milk. C: Cervix is incorrect as it is a part of the female reproductive system that connects the vagina to the uterus, not involved in milk production. D: Zygote is incorrect as it is the initial cell formed from the fusion of sperm and egg during fertilization, not related to milk production.
Question 3 of 5
The medical term means pertaining to new birth:____________.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: neonatal. "Neo-" means new or recent, and "-natal" refers to birth. Therefore, neonatal means pertaining to new birth. Choice A, antenatal, refers to the period before birth. Choice C, neonate, refers to a newborn baby. Choice D, newborn, simply means a recently born baby without specifying the time frame as "neonatal" does.
Question 4 of 5
The epididymal duct:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: The epididymal duct is a coiled tube located on the posterior surface of the testis. Step 2: It continues as the deferent duct (vas deferens) which is responsible for transporting sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. Step 3: Therefore, choice B is correct as the epididymal duct indeed continues as the deferent duct. Summary: A: Incorrect - The epididymal duct is not located within the testis. C: Incorrect - The testicular efferent ducts are separate from the epididymal duct. D: Incorrect - The epididymal duct is considered part of the male reproductive system within the scrotum, not outside it.
Question 5 of 5
The prostate:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. The prostate is an accessory gland because it produces and secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. 2. It is not located under the urinary bladder (A) but surrounds the initial segment of the urethra (B). 3. The prostate does not secrete androgenic hormones (D); instead, it secretes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and enzymes. 4. Thus, the correct answer is C because it accurately describes the function of the prostate as an accessory gland of the male reproductive system.
