Drugs Affecting the Female Reproductive System Quizlet Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the primary function of the epididymis in males?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The epididymis functions to store sperm and allow them to mature. Sperm produced in the testes are transported to the epididymis where they undergo maturation and become motile. This process is essential for sperm to acquire the ability to fertilize an egg. The other choices are incorrect because the epididymis does not produce testosterone (B), transport sperm to the urethra (C), or produce seminal fluid (D). Testosterone is primarily produced in the testes, sperm transport to the urethra occurs mainly through the vas deferens, and seminal fluid is produced by the accessory glands.
Question 2 of 5
Which hormone is responsible for stimulating the production of sperm in males?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone). FSH is responsible for stimulating the production of sperm in males by acting on the Sertoli cells in the testes. It promotes the maturation of sperm cells and supports sperm production. LH (Choice B) is responsible for stimulating testosterone production in the testes, not sperm production. Testosterone (Choice C) is a male sex hormone produced by the testes but does not directly stimulate sperm production. Prolactin (Choice D) is a hormone primarily involved in lactation and has no direct role in sperm production.
