Question 1 of 5
Which ligament holds the uterus in
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: round ligament. The round ligament holds the uterus in place laterally. It is a band of tissue that connects the uterus to the groin region. This ligament provides support and stability to the uterus during movements and changes in position. Choice A (8 place, laterally) and Choice D (100) are nonsensical and do not correspond to any anatomical structure or location. Choice B (25) is also incorrect as it does not exist as a ligament involved in supporting the uterus. In summary, the round ligament is the correct choice as it is the specific ligament responsible for holding the uterus in place laterally, providing essential support and stability.
Question 2 of 5
What results from spermiogenesis? ________.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Spermiogenesis is the process of spermatid maturation into spermatozoa. During this process, each spermatid transforms into a single sperm cell. Therefore, the correct answer is C: four spermatids, as spermiogenesis results in the formation of four mature sperm cells from each spermatid. A: Four spermatogonia are the cells that undergo mitosis to produce spermatocytes, not the result of spermiogenesis. B: Emission refers to the release of semen during ejaculation, not the result of spermiogenesis. D: Menses is the shedding of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle in females, not related to spermiogenesis.
Question 3 of 5
Male sex chromosomes are represented as ________.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is C: XY. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. This combination determines an individual's sex. Choice A (XX) is incorrect because it represents the genotype for females. Choice B (XO) is incorrect as it denotes Turner syndrome in females with only one X chromosome. Choice D (XZ) is not a valid representation of male sex chromosomes in humans.
Question 4 of 5
Approximately how long does it take sperm to get to the site of fertilization?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 3 hours. After ejaculation, sperm needs to travel through the female reproductive tract to reach the site of fertilization in the fallopian tube. This journey typically takes around 3 hours due to the distance and obstacles the sperm must overcome. Choice A (2 mins) is too short for sperm to travel such a distance. Choice B (20 mins) is also insufficient for the journey. Choice C (60 mins) is closer but still underestimates the time required for sperm to reach the fallopian tube.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements relating to lactation is incorrect.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because mechanical stimulation and neural inputs do not directly stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete prolactin releasing factor and oxytocin. The release of prolactin is primarily controlled by the hypothalamus through the release of prolactin inhibitory hormone (dopamine) and prolactin releasing hormone. Oxytocin release is controlled by the hypothalamus in response to suckling. Choices A, C, and D are all correct statements about lactation. Plasma prolactin releasing factor (prolactin releasing hormone) does stimulate the release of prolactin, plasma oxytocin does stimulate milk ejection, and progesterone does prepare the mammary glands for lactation.
