Disorders in Reproductive System Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is produced by the ovaries?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the ovaries produce secondary oocytes, which are released during ovulation for fertilization. Additionally, the ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, which are essential for the menstrual cycle and reproductive health. Choice A is incorrect as primary oocytes are present before birth and insulin is produced by the pancreas. Choice B is incorrect because cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, not the ovaries. Choice C is incorrect as tertiary oocytes do not exist, and insulin is produced by the pancreas.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the male pattern of development “master switch” gene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: SRY. The Sex-determining Region Y (SRY) gene is the master switch for male development. It initiates the development of male gonads. Choice B, MIS, is a hormone involved in female reproductive development. Choices C and D, XYY and XXY, are genetic conditions related to male chromosomal variations and are not the master switch gene for male development.
Question 3 of 5
Within each ovary there are thousands of small sacs called
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Graafian follicle. Within the ovary, thousands of small sacs called follicles develop and grow, with one dominant follicle eventually maturing into a Graafian follicle. This structure contains the ovum (egg) and is released during ovulation. Ova (A) are the mature eggs released from the Graafian follicle. Corpus luteum (C) forms after ovulation and produces hormones to support pregnancy. Cysts (D) are abnormal fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the ovaries, different from the normal follicles.
Question 4 of 5
Congenital opening of the male urethra on the undersurface of the penis is called:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Hypospadias is the congenital opening of the male urethra on the undersurface of the penis. 2. This condition results from incomplete closure of the urethral folds during fetal development. 3. Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin over the glans penis. 4. Epispadias is the congenital opening of the male urethra on the upper surface of the penis. 5. Herpes is a viral infection causing painful sores, but not related to the location of the urethral opening. Summary: Hypospadias is correct as it matches the description of the condition, while the other choices describe different conditions not related to the location of the urethral opening.
Question 5 of 5
The 16 feet long tube that is coiled and located above the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: epididymis. The epididymis is a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle, approximately 16 feet long when unraveled. It plays a crucial role in sperm maturation and storage. The other choices, B: Vas deferens, C: Urethra, and D: Ureter, are incorrect as they are not coiled tubes located above the testicles and do not have the same function as the epididymis in sperm development and storage.
