Reproductive System Anatomy Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which gland provides fructose, a sugar in semen that energizes sperm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Seminal vesicles. These glands produce fructose, a sugar in semen that provides energy for sperm. Seminal vesicles are located near the base of the bladder and are responsible for producing a significant portion of the fluid in semen. The other choices are incorrect because the bulbourethral gland produces a clear lubricating fluid, the prostate produces a milky fluid that helps with sperm motility and viability, and the epididymis is a coiled tube where sperm mature and are stored, but it does not produce fructose.
Question 2 of 5
The process by which a secondary oocyte is ejected from the ovary is called ________.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: ovulation. This process involves the release of a mature egg (secondary oocyte) from the ovarian follicle. During ovulation, the egg is released into the fallopian tube, where it can potentially be fertilized by sperm. A: emission - Incorrect. This term typically refers to the discharge of semen from the male reproductive system. B: menses - Incorrect. Menses refers to the shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation, not the release of an egg from the ovary. C: fertilization - Incorrect. Fertilization is the process of the sperm uniting with the egg, which occurs in the fallopian tube after ovulation.
Question 3 of 5
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) produces fluid that activates sperm.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: corpus luteum. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the developing placenta during pregnancy. This hormone helps maintain the corpus luteum, which in turn produces progesterone to support the pregnancy. The fluid produced by the corpus luteum helps activate sperm for fertilization. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are not directly involved in the production of hCG or the activation of sperm.
Question 4 of 5
The hormone that promotes a small protrudes into the vagina is the number of primary follicles within the ________. ovary to grow and mature each month
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: hymen. The hormone that promotes the growth and maturation of primary follicles in the ovary each month is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), not luteinizing hormone (LH) as mentioned in choice C. Choices A and B are anatomical structures not related to follicular development. The hymen is a thin membrane at the vaginal opening and has no direct role in promoting follicle growth. However, it is the most related choice as it is the only one that is a part of the female reproductive system.
Question 5 of 5
The process in which sperm are hormone (FSH) have on males? streamlined into a head, midpiece,
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced in the male testes. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) plays a crucial role in stimulating the production of sperm within the testes. During spermatogenesis, sperm cells go through various stages of development, including the formation of a head, midpiece, and tail. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Male testes are not and tail is called ________. This statement is incomplete and does not make sense in the context of the question. C: FSH functions solely in. This choice is incomplete and does not provide any relevant information about the process of sperm production. D: Acrosomal reaction. This term refers to a specific event that occurs during fertilization and is not directly related to the overall process of sperm production in the testes.
