Question 1 of 5

The semen contains liquids originating from:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. The prostate gland secretes a milky fluid that constitutes a major portion of semen. 2. This prostatic fluid contains enzymes, citric acid, and zinc, which nourish and protect sperm. 3. Seminal vesicles also contribute to semen production, but mainly by providing fructose for sperm energy. 4. The scrotum houses the testes but does not directly contribute fluids to semen. 5. The epididymal duct is a site for sperm maturation and storage but does not produce semen fluids. Summary: Choice A is correct because the prostate gland secretes a significant portion of semen. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly contribute fluids to semen production.

Question 2 of 5

Which statement regarding the uterus is true:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: it is pear-shaped. The uterus is indeed pear-shaped in structure, with a wider upper part called the corpus and a narrower lower part called the cervix. The pear shape allows for the expansion required during pregnancy. The other choices are incorrect: B is inaccurate as the superior extremity is the fundus, not the corpus; C is incorrect as the vagina is connected to the cervix, not the inferior extremity; D is wrong as the uterus is located centrally in the pelvis.

Question 3 of 5

The following take part in the fecundation process:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, one ovule with two nuclei, which means the pregnancy is monovitelline twin. This is correct because during fertilization, a single sperm fertilizes an ovum, resulting in the formation of a zygote with two nuclei. Monovitelline twins originate from the splitting of a single fertilized egg, leading to two embryos with shared genetic material. The other choices, A and B, are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the process of fecundation. Choice A refers to a single ovule before fertilization, and choice B refers to a single spermatozoon, which is involved in fertilization but does not lead to the formation of twins. Choice D is also incorrect as it describes bivitelline twins, which result from the fertilization of two separate eggs by two different sperm, leading to genetically distinct individuals.

Question 4 of 5

Within which structure in the human body does specialization of parts of the developing baby take place?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: uterus. Specialization of parts of the developing baby takes place in the uterus during pregnancy. The uterus is where the fertilized egg implants and the embryo develops into a specialized structure known as a fetus. The other choices (A: ovary, C: testis, D: pancreas) do not play a direct role in the development of the baby during pregnancy. The ovary is involved in producing eggs, the testis produces sperm, and the pancreas is responsible for producing digestive enzymes and hormones, but they are not directly involved in the specialization of parts of the developing baby.
