Human Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which portion of the sperm houses the nucleus and its DNA?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Head. The head of the sperm contains the nucleus, which houses the DNA. The nucleus carries the genetic information required for fertilization. The midpiece contains mitochondria for energy production, the flagellum provides motility, and the tail is a part of the flagellum. Therefore, the head is the only part of the sperm that houses the nucleus and DNA, making it the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
Bladder infections are known as
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: interstitial cell. Bladder infections are commonly referred to as cystitis, which is the inflammation of the bladder. Interstitial cells are found in the bladder wall and play a role in bladder function. Choice A, seminiferous tubule, is incorrect because it is a structure in the testes involved in sperm production. Choice B, nephritis, refers to inflammation of the kidneys, not the bladder. Choice D, diverticulitis, is inflammation of the diverticula in the colon, not related to bladder infections. Therefore, the most appropriate term for bladder infections is interstitial cell.
Question 3 of 5

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 4 of 5

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 5 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.
