Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.

Question 4 of 5

The pituitary LH controls:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: ovulation. Pituitary LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is responsible for triggering ovulation in the menstrual cycle. LH surge leads to the release of the mature egg from the ovarian follicle. The other choices are incorrect because: B: progesterone secretion is mainly regulated by the hormone progesterone itself and not directly by pituitary LH; C: the corpus albicans is a remnant of the ruptured ovarian follicle and is not directly controlled by LH; D: follicular maturation is primarily regulated by FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) rather than LH.

Question 5 of 5

Reproduction in humans usually requires

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because reproduction in humans typically involves the fusion of gametes with chromosomes that are not paired, resulting in the formation of a zygote with a complete set of paired chromosomes. This process is known as sexual reproduction. Choice A, cloning, does not involve the fusion of gametes and is a form of asexual reproduction. Choice B, mitotic cell division of gametes, is incorrect as gametes undergo meiosis to form haploid cells, not mitosis. Choice D, external fertilization of sex cells, is not typical in humans as fertilization usually occurs internally.
