C. Production of estrogen
D. Development of the corpus luteum
2. Which the following statements is true regarding the female reproductive system:
The bladder is located posterior to the uterus.
The rectum is located anterior to the uterus.
The ovaries are the site of estrogen and egg production.
It contains the site of the vas deferens: The ovaries are the site of estrogen and egg
production.
3. Which of the following statements is true concerning oogenesis?:
A. It begins at the time of puberty.
B. Correct! The primary oocyte divides to produce a secondary oocyte.
C.Each primary oocyte produces in two to three mature ova.
D. The first polar body maintains all the cytoplasm.E. B&C are true
4. Ovulation occurs when an egg is released from the ______________ .: Ovarian
follicle
5. The ovarian follicles becomes ___after ovulation: Corpus luteum
6. Name the specific region of the reproductive system highlighted in blue below
(also indicated by the arrow).: Fimbriae (infundibulum)
7. Name the specific region of the reproductive system highlighted in blue below
(also indicated by the arrow).: cervix
8. This layer of the uterus is shed monthly.: endometrium
1/8
, Portage Learning Anatomy & Physiology II: Module 6 Exam
9. This layer of the uterus contracts during labor.: A. Endometrium
B. Mucosal coat
C.Perimetrium
D. Correct! MyometriumE. Serous coat
10. Which of the following statements is false concerning the vagina?:
A. Correct! The fundus is made of elastic fibers, blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves.
B.The wetness and moisture of the surface is achieved by mucous from the cervix.
C. The elastic fibers give the vaginal wall elasticity.
D. The mucosal lining can extend.
11. Which of the following statement is false concerning the function of the vagina?:
It secretes progesterone to maintain pregnancy
12. Describe the purpose of the cervix prior to ovulation.: Just prior to ovulation, the
cervix swells, softens and secretes mucus allowing sperm better access to and viability
within the uterus.
13. Describe the purpose of the cervix during pregnancy.: To begin pregnancy, the
cervix
produces a thick fluid that increases the viability of the sperm. The cervix provides a seal
to keep foreign objects from reaching the fetus. During labor, the uterus will contract, and
the baby's head will push on the mother's cervix. When the cervix is dilated to 10mm, the
mother begins pushing and delivers the baby.
14. Label the regions of the reproductive system below: (A-C): A: Prepuce
B: Urethral orifice
C: Vestibule
