The shared terminal duct of the reproductive and urinary system in the human male is
1. Urethra
2. Ureter
3. Vas deferens
4. Vasa efferentia
The main function of mammalian corpus luteum is to produce
1. estrogen only
2. progesterone
3. human chorionic gonadotropin
4. relaxin only
Select the correct option describing gonadotropin activity in a normal pregnant female
1. High level of FSH and LH stimulates the thickening of endometrium
2. High level of FSH and LH facilitate implantation of the embryo
3. High level of HCG stimulates the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone
4. High level of HCG stimulates the thickening of endometrium
Which one of the following is not the function of placenta?
1. facilitates supply of oxygen and nutrients to embryo
2. secretes oestrogen
3. facilitates removal of carbon dioxide and waste material from embryo
4. secretes oxytocin during parturition
Which one of the following statements is false in respect of viability of mammalian
sperm?
1. Sperm is viable for only up to 24 h
2. Survival of sperm depends on the pH of the medium and is more active in alkaline
medium
3. Viability of sperm is determined by its motility
4. Sperms must be concentrated in a thick suspension
In a normal pregnant woman, the amount of total gonadotropin activity was assessed.
The result expected was
1. High level of circulating FSH and LH in the uterus to stimulate implantation of the
embryo
2. High level of circulating HCG to stimulate endometrial thickening
3. High levels of FSH and LH in uterus to stimulate endometrial thickening
4. High level of circulating HCG to stimulate oestrogen and progesterone synthesis
The Leydig cells as found in the human body are the secretory source of
1. progesterone
2. intestinal mucus
3. glucagon
4. androgens
If for some reason, the vasa efferentia in the human reproductive system get blocked,
the gametes will not be transported from
1. epididymis to vas deferens
2. ovary to uterus
3. vagina to uterus
4. testes to epididymis
The figure given below depicts a diagrammatic sectional view of the female
reproductive system of humans. Which one set of three parts out of A-F have been
correctly identified?
1. C-lnfundibulum, D-Fimbriae, E-Cervix
2. D-Oviducal funnel, E-Uterus, F-Cervix
3. A-Perimetrium, B-Myometxium, C-Fallopian tube
4. B-Endometrium, C-Infundibulum, D-Fimbriae
The testes in humans are situated outside the abdominal cavity inside a pouch called scrotum. The purpose served is for
1. | escaping any possible compression by the visceral organs |
2. | providing more space for the growth of epididymis |
3. | providing a secondary sexual feature for exhibiting the male sex |
4. | maintaining the scrotal temperature lower than the internal body temperature |
