1. Multiple Choice: All the following are functions of the ovaries except:: Maintaining

2. Multiple Choice: Which the following statements is true regarding the female
reproductive system:: The ovaries are the site of estrogen and egg production.
3. Multiple Choice: Which of the following statements is true concerning oogenesis?:
The primary oocyte divides to produce a secondary oocyte.
4. Short Answer: Ovulation occurs when an egg is released from the
______________.: Ovarian follicle
5. Name the specific region of the reproductive system highlighted in blue
below (also indicated by the arrow).: Cervix - or - Fimbriae (infundibulum)
6. Multiple Choice: This layer of the uterus is shed monthly.: Endometrium
7. Short Answer: The ovarian follicle becomes the ____________ after ovulation.: -
Corpus luteum
8. Multiple Choice: This layer of the uterus contracts during labor.: Myometrium
9. Multiple Choice: Which of the following statements is false concerning the vagina?:
The fundus is made of elastic fibers, blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves.
10. Essay Question: 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.
11. Multiple Choice: Which of the following statements is false concerning the
functions of the vagina?: It secretes progesterone to maintain pregnancy.
12. Essay Question: Describe the purpose of the cervix during pregnancy.: When
a woman becomes pregnant, a mucus plug forms in the cervix to act as a barrier,
protecting the fetus and keeping the developing fetus in the uterus until full term.
13. True or False: The mammary alveoli begin at the nipple and divides into numerous
other lobules.: False
14. Essay Question: Discuss the developmental steps of how a fertilized egg becomes
implanted in the uterus. Include specific locations, names, and amounts of time in
your answer.: The zygote begins frequent mitotic cell divisions as it moves through the
oviducts. Over 3 to 4 days, the zygote undergoes mitosis in the oviducts to form the
morula. Following this, it spends another 3 to 4 days undergoing mitosis while

unattached in the uterus, forming the blastocyst as the endometrium prepares for
implantation. With the release of progesterone from the corpus luteum, the
endometrium increases its blood supply and secretes glycogen, allowing the blastocyst
to implant into the endometrium of the uterus around day 7.
15. True or False: Colostrum has a similar composition to milk but contains a lower
concentration of protein.: False
16. True or False: Each mammary gland contains 12- 24 lobules.: True
17. True or False: Milk is not produced during pregnancy because of the production of
estrogen and progesterone.: True
18. Multiple Choice: Blood tests indicate that progesterone and estrogen levels are
both increased. Your patient is most likely in what phase of the female uterine cycle?:
Secretory phase
19. Multiple Choice: Blood tests indicate that estrogen and LH levels are both elevated.
Your patient is most likely in what phase of the female uterine cycle?-
: Proliferative phase
20. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is false concerning the organs of the male
reproductive system?: One produced, sperm travel to the seminal vesicles for
maturation.
21. Short Answer: The ____________ connects the seminal vesicle with the urethra to
allow sperm to exit the body.: Ejaculatory duct
22. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is true concerning spermatogenesis?: Each
primary spermatocyte produces four viable gametes.
23. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is false concerning spermatogenesis?:
Males have all the sperm at birth that will be made during the lifetime.
24. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is false concerning human cells?: A zygote
has 23 chromosomes.
25. Essay Question: Discuss in detail the action of sperm needed to fertilize an
egg.: When the egg is released, it attracts sperm by releasing chemicals. The sperm cells
then release enzymes to break through the cells surrounding the egg. After breaching
this barrier, sperm then release acrosomal enzymes making a hole in the egg membrane.
