Primary oocytes have developed
bby the time of birth. From puberty to
‘menopause, these germ cells remain
suspended in meiotic prophase. The
oocyte ofa mature follicle is induced
to undergo the frst meiotic division
just prior to ovulation as a result of
which of the following hormonal
stimuli?
b
‘The cessation of progesterone sect:
Tre gradual elevation of follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH) titers
‘The low estrogen titers associated
with the maturing follicle
The slow elevation of progesterone
produced by luteal cells
‘The surge of luteinizing hormone
(LH) initiated by high estrogen

The first meiotic division has just
occurred
Expulsion of the first polar body
has just occurred
The secondary oocyte is arrested in
the second maturation division
The zona pellucida has broken
down
Ferilization is possible
Spermiogenesis is the transfor:
ration from spermatid to sperma-
tozo0n. Which of the following isa

ration process?
Mitochondria, which provide the
energy for motility, become located

A 26-year-old man contracted
viral influenza with an unremitting,
fever of 39.5°C (103°F) for 3 days
Since spermatogenesis cannot
‘occur above a scrotal temperature

viable sperm to the epididymis is

All the following statements
concerning the acrosome reaction
are correct EXCEPT

smal envelope into the cytoplasm of

It involves the formation of the
acrosomal process

zona pellucida
Ie terminates upon fusion of the
plasma membrane of the sperm

tion initiates the cortical reaction,
which involves all the following,
processes EXCEPT

sperm receptors on the surface
