• A) Fallopian tube
• B) Ovary
• C) Uterus
,Page 2 of 181
• D) Cervix
Answer: B) Ovary
Rationale: Ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, which

and the usual site of fertilization.
3. Scenario: A 16-year-old asks why she gets a period every

5. A nursing student correctly identifies that the passage of
sperm through the male reproductive tract follows which order?
• A) Epididymis → vas deferens → ejaculatory duct →
urethra
• B) Vas deferens → epididymis → urethra → ejaculatory

• C) Ejaculatory duct → epididymis → vas deferens →
urethra
• D) Urethra → vas deferens → epididymis → ejaculatory
duct
Answer: A) Epididymis → vas deferens → ejaculatory duct →
