Question 2 5 / 5 points A boy who has not passed through puberty sustains an injury to his anterior pituitary such that FSH is no longer released, but LH is normal. After he grows to maturity, one would expect that he would ________. Question options: be impotent (unable to have an erection) be sterile not develop secondary sex characteristics have impaired function of interstitial cells Question 3 Why doesnt semen enter the urinary bladder during ejaculation? Question options: Ejaculation is a parasympathetic reflex resulting in no response by urinary contraction muscles. There is no common duct between the reproductive system and the urinary system. The smooth muscle sphincter at the base of the urinary bladder closes. There is no urge to urinate during sexual intercourse because of the suppression of LH by testosterone buildup in the blood. Question 4 5 / 5 points Which of the following glands are responsible for 60% of the synthesis of semen? Question options: the prostate the bulbourethral glands the seminal vesicles the pituitary Question 5 5 / 5 points Select the correct statement about the hormonal events of the ovarian cycle. Question options: The LH surge stimulates further development of the secondary oocyte. 5 / 5 points

The follicle begins to secrete progesterone in response to estrogen stimulation. High estrogen levels result in a surge of LH release. Rising levels of estrogen start follicle development. Question 6 Select the correct statement about male sexual response. Question options: Ejaculation is the result of parasympathetic stimulation. Expansion of the penile tissues results in dilation of the venous outflow. Sympathetic impulses are responsible for causing penile arteriolar dilation, resulting in erection. Erection is the result of vascular spaces in the erectile tissues filling with blood. Question 7 5 / 5 points Occasionally three polar bodies are found clinging to the mature ovum. One came from an unequal division of the ovum, but from where did the other two arise? Question options: There were originally four polar bodies and one disappeared. One is an undeveloped primary oocyte that failed to mature. What you really see are two polar bodies and the sperm that will fertilize the egg. The first polar body has also divided to produce two polar bodies. Question 8 Which of the following statements about sperm is not true? Question options: The acrosome is produced by the Golgi apparatus and contains hydrolytic enzymes. The sperm midpiece consists of mitochondria spiraled tightly around the contractile filaments of the tail. They contain very little cytoplasm or stored nutrients. They are sluggish in an alkaline environment. Question 9 5 / 5 points The structures that receive the ovulated oocyte, providing a site for fertilization, are called the ________. Question options: fallopian tubes infundibula fimbriae Graafian follicles Question 10 5 / 5 points 5 / 5 points 5 / 5 points

Characteristics of the mature sperm include the ________. Question options: absence of an acrosome presence of two X chromosomes in approximately half the sperm presence of Y chromosomes in approximately half the sperm absence of coiled mitochondria Question 11 Select the correct statement about testosterone control. Question options: FSH stimulates testicular production of testosterone. The pineal gland is believed to be the gland that exerts the most influence in testosterone control. GnRH from the hypothalamus causes FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary. Inhibin and testosterone exert positive feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary. Question 12 Which of the following is a correct statement about uterine tubes? Question options: The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped region near the ovary. The ampulla is the narrow constricted region. The isthmus is the normal site of fertilization. The mesometrium supports the uterine tubes along their entire length. Question 13 5 / 5 points The constancy of the chromosome number from one cell generation to the next is maintained through ________. Question options: cytokinesis mitosis meiosis DNA synthesis Question 14 5 / 5 points In humans, separation of the cells at the two-cell state following fertilization may lead to the production of twins, which in this case would be ________. Question options: identical 5 / 5 points 5 / 5 points

Question options: FSH estrogen progesterone LH TF 27 Question 16 Of the three germ layers, the mesoderm forms the most body parts. Question options: True False Human placental lactogen initiates labor. Question options: True False Question 18 5 / 5 points In fetal circulation, one way in which blood bypasses the nonaerated lungs is by way of the foramen ovale. Question options: True False Question 19 5 / 5 points A pregnancy test involves antibodies that detect GH levels in a woman's blood or urine. Question options: True False Question 20 5 / 5 points A pregnant woman urinates more often than usual because the uterus compresses the bladder, and she must also dispose of fetal metabolic wastes.
