Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements relating to the corpus luteum is incorrect.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the corpus luteum does not contain the zona pellucida. The zona pellucida is a glycoprotein layer surrounding the oocyte, not the corpus luteum. The other choices are incorrect because B is true - the corpus luteum degrades if fertilization does not occur; C is true - corpus luteum derives from Latin for yellow body; and D is true - the corpus luteum develops from the remaining follicle after ovulation.
Question 2 of 5
Rita Chen, who is 25 years old and knows that she is not pregnant, is concerned because she has not had a menstrual period for three months. Her doctor described this condition as ______.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: amenorrhea. Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods, which is the condition Rita Chen is experiencing. Dysmenorrhea is painful periods, not absence of periods. Menometrorrhagia is excessive and prolonged menstrual bleeding. Polymenorrhoea is frequent menstrual periods, not absence of periods. In this case, Rita's lack of periods for three months aligns with the definition of amenorrhea.
Question 3 of 5
Structurally, the testicle is made up of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: lobules, delineated by connective septa. The testicle is structurally organized into lobules separated by connective tissue septa. Each lobule contains seminiferous tubules where sperm production occurs. This organization allows for efficient production and transport of sperm. Incorrect choices: A: Intratesticular spermatic ducts - Incorrect, as the testicle contains seminiferous tubules, not spermatic ducts. C: The cortical zone, in the center - Incorrect, as the testicle structure does not have a defined cortical zone. D: The medullar zone, at the periphery - Incorrect, as the medullary zone is not at the periphery but rather towards the center of the testicle.
Question 4 of 5
The following statements about the prostate are true:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for the correct answer (A): 1. The prostate gland is an exocrine gland because it secretes its products through ducts onto an epithelial surface. 2. It is a paired organ, with two lobes located above the urethra and below the bladder. 3. The prostate secretes a fluid that contributes to the seminal fluid, not semen itself. 4. The prostate is vascularized by branches of the internal iliac artery, not the entire gland. Therefore, the correct statement is that the prostate is an exocrine glandular organ (Choice A).
Question 5 of 5
The testosterone secretion is controlled by:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: LH (luteinizing hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in stimulating the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Step 2: Testosterone secretion is directly controlled by the LH through this stimulation. Step 3: FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is involved in sperm production, not testosterone secretion. Step 4: Corticoadrenal hormones are related to stress response, not testosterone regulation. Step 5: Negative feedback from the posterior pituitary does not directly control testosterone secretion. Therefore, the correct answer is B (the LH) as it directly influences testosterone production.
