Human Reproductive System Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which statement is true for the reproduction of reptiles and birds?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: They are both ovoviviparous. Reptiles and birds are ovoviviparous, meaning they lay eggs that hatch internally and give birth to live young. Reptiles and birds do not require parental care immediately after birth, so choice A is incorrect. They reproduce through internal fertilization, making choice C incorrect. Reproduction through asexual means is not common in reptiles and birds, making choice D incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
Regarding the function of placenta
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: The placental barrier is semi-permeable, allowing small molecules like oxygen and nutrients to pass but blocking larger molecules like antibodies. Step 2: IgG antibodies are the only type that can cross the placenta through active transport mechanisms. Step 3: This transfer provides passive immunity to the fetus. Step 4: Options A, C, and D are incorrect as the placenta has 4 main layers, progesterone does not induce preterm labor, and gas diffusion depends on concentration gradients, not pressure gradients.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing discharge plans with a client who is recovering from a cervical biopsy. Which statements indicate good understanding by the client? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: The client understanding that they cannot carry their toddler for 2 weeks after a cervical biopsy is crucial to avoid strain and potential complications. Lifting heavy objects can place stress on the biopsy site, leading to bleeding or infection. This restriction promotes proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. Summary: A: Returning to work immediately may not allow sufficient time for recovery and could lead to complications. C: Douching can introduce bacteria to the biopsy site, increasing the risk of infection. D: Waiting for about 2 weeks before having intercourse is important to prevent trauma to the biopsy site.
Question 4 of 5
The substrate used for sperm metabolism is produced by the _____.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: seminal vesicle. Seminal vesicles produce fructose-rich fluid that serves as a nutrient source for sperm metabolism. This energy supply enables sperm to swim and undergo various metabolic processes. The other choices are incorrect because the prostate produces components of semen, Cowper's gland secretes pre-ejaculatory fluid, and the testes produce sperm cells but not the substrate for sperm metabolism. Thus, the seminal vesicle is the most direct source of the metabolic substrate for sperm.
Question 5 of 5
The largest ovarian ligament is the _____ ligament.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: broad ligament. The broad ligament is the largest ovarian ligament, providing support to the uterus and ovaries. It consists of layers of peritoneum and serves as a protective barrier. The other choices are incorrect because the ovarian ligament specifically connects the ovary to the uterus, the suspensory ligament supports the ovary and contains blood vessels, and the sacral ligament is not related to the ovary.
