WGU D203 Objective Assessment Exam (Latest 2026/ 2027 Update) Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology Complete Review | 100% Verified Questions & Answers | Grade A QUESTION What is spermatogenesis Answer: the production of sperm QUESTION Describe the structure of a sperm cell Answer: The anatomy of a sperm includes three parts: a head, middlepiece, and a tail, which helps them to swim. The mitochondria—or the middlepiece—produces energy that sperm need to travel. QUESTION Erection Answer: the stiffening of the penis caused by increased blood flow during sexual arousal QUESTION Ejaculation Answer: movement of semen through, and out of, the male reproductive anatomy QUESTION Peristalsis Answer: a rhythmic muscle contraction QUESTION Describe the composition of semen. Answer: Semen is made up of secretions from a few glands including the prostate, and it is only made up of about 5% sperm. Semen provides sperm cells with energy and protection for their journey QUESTION Explain testosterone production and the role of gonadotrophin releasing hormone. Answer: Testosterone production begins in the body before a male is born. As the male grows, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels rise to stimulate the production of sperm. Testosterone is produced by luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Testosterone production also involves the hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. GnRH causes LH release, and LH causes testosterone production. Testosterone enhances the male sexual characteristics by encouraging growth of the external male reproductive structures. QUESTION Ovaries Answer: the small almond-shaped organ that produces eggs QUESTION Ovarian follicles Answer: the fluid-filled sac that carries immature eggs QUESTION Oviducts Answer: the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus (also known as the fallopian tubes) QUESTION Uterus Answer: the muscular organ where a fetus grows and develops QUESTION Cervix Answer: the bottom of the uterus that extends into the vagina QUESTION Vulva Answer: all the external female reproductive organs QUESTION Labia Answer: the folded tissues known as the lips of the vulva QUESTION Sebaceous glands Answer: the glands in the skin that produce oil QUESTION Clitoris Answer: the highly sensitive area of the vulva QUESTION Glans clitoris Answer: the visible area of the clitoris QUESTION Vagina Answer: the muscular tube that connects the outside of the body to the cervix QUESTION What is an oocyte?
