Human Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following cells could be fertilized?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Secondary oocyte. After meiosis I, the primary oocyte forms a secondary oocyte. The secondary oocyte is the cell that can be fertilized by a sperm to form a zygote. Polar bodies are products of oogenesis that do not participate in fertilization. Oogonium is a primordial germ cell in the ovary that undergoes mitosis to form primary oocytes. Therefore, the secondary oocyte is the only viable option for fertilization among the choices provided.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a part of
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: menarche. Menarche refers to the onset of a female's first menstrual period, not related to male reproductive anatomy. Choice A, labor a male's testis, involves the process of childbirth and is not related to male reproductive anatomy. Choice C, seminiferous tubule, is a part of the male reproductive system where sperm is produced. Choice D, menstruation, is the monthly shedding of the uterine lining in females, not related to male reproductive anatomy. Therefore, menarche is the only choice that does not pertain to male reproductive anatomy.
Question 3 of 5
The clusters of specific glands that cycle are known as ________. produce milk when a woman is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: the secretory phase. During the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, the glands in the breast tissue prepare for potential milk production. This phase occurs after ovulation when the body is getting ready for a possible pregnancy. The other choices are incorrect because: A: the menstrual phase refers to the shedding of the uterine lining, not the breast glands. C: lactiferous ducts are the tubes that carry milk from the glands to the nipple, not the clusters of glands themselves. D: menses refers to the menstrual bleeding period, not the phase in which the breast glands are active for milk production.
Question 4 of 5
Ovulation occurs as a result of a surge of what hormone
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: luteinising hormone (LH). Ovulation is triggered by a surge of LH from the anterior pituitary gland, which causes the mature follicle to rupture and release the egg. Inhibin (A) inhibits FSH secretion, FSH (B) stimulates follicle development, and progesterone (D) is produced after ovulation to support the uterine lining. Therefore, the surge of LH is the key hormone that directly triggers ovulation.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following sets of tissues are all part of a developing follicle.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all the tissues mentioned (zona pellucida, cumulus oophorous, theca) are indeed part of a developing follicle. The zona pellucida is the glycoprotein layer surrounding the oocyte, the cumulus oophorous is a cluster of granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte, and the theca is a layer of connective tissue surrounding the follicle. Choice A is incorrect because the corpus luteum is not part of a developing follicle. Choice B is incorrect because the acrosome is a structure in sperm, not the follicle. Choice C is incorrect because the corpus luteum is not part of a developing follicle, and the oocyte is already present within the follicle but is not considered a part of it.
