FINAL EXAM 2026/2027 ACTUAL
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS.
Which of the following is true concerning the organs of the
male reproductive system?
The testes function to produce sperm.
The _____________ join with the vas deferens to form an
ejaculatory duct.
seminal vesicles
Seminal Vesicles
Secretes vitamin C
Produces prostaglandins
Prostate Gland
Secretes alkaline fluid
Bulbourethral glands
Secretes alkaline fluid
First to secrete during ejaculation
Testes
Produces testosterone
Anterior Pituitary
Produces LH
,Name and discuss the purpose of the region of sperm
indicated by the arrow in the figure below.
This is the midpiece of the sperm. It contains mitochondria
which helps power the sperm's movement.
Discuss in detail the action of sperm needed to fertilize an
egg.
The sperm are ejected into the vagina during intercourse. They
use their flagellum tails to travel into the fallopean tubes to join
with an egg. The sperm uses the enzymes in the acrosome
head to break down the corona radia around the egg. Once that
is broken down, one sperm will embed into the egg, and
fertilization has occured.
Which of the following is true concerning human cells?
Gamete cells are haploid cells.
Discuss in detail the layers of cells (of the blastocyst)
which form the embryo.
The ectoderm forms the epidermis and the nueral tube
The endoderm forms the glands, the solid organs, and the
lining of the hallow organs.
The mesoderm forms the cardio vascular system

1st trimester
Fingerprints develop
2nd trimester
Sucking reflexes established
, 3rd trimester

Find the steps that correctly order neurulation:
Ectoderm→ convergence→ neural groove → neural tube →
spinal cord
A person sustained blunt force trauma to the back at the
L1 level, with no spinal cord injury. Would you suspect the
kidneys to be damaged? Why or why not?
Yes, the kidneys lie between the T-12 and L-3
Describe the consistency and purpose of the renal
capsule.
The renal capsule is a tough fibrous outer skin of the kidney
which protects it from injury and infection.
Name the layer and the parts of the nephrons located in
the region highlighted in blue, below.
Renal cortex the renal pyramids jut into the cortex
These arteries feed the afferent arterioles.
Interlobular
After filtration occurs, next blood travels into these
vessels.
Efferent arteriole
Which of the following is true about the location of the
bladder?
In females, the bladder is anterior to the vagina.
