The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called the scrotum. This is necessary as:
1. | The scrotum can contain lengthy ducts for the transfer of sperms |
2. | Scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
3. | Scrotum reduces the pressure around the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
4. | Scrotum can store huge amounts of sperms |
The final release of sperms from the seminiferous tubules is called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Emission |
3. | Retrograde ejaculation | 4. | Ejaculation |
What is the number of chromosomes in each secondary spermatocyte?
1. | 23 | 2. | 46 |
3. | 69 | 4. | 92 |
The ducts of the seminal vesicles open into:
1. | Ejaculatory duct | 2. | Rete testis |
3. | Urethra | 4. | Vas deferens |
Which of the following helps spermatids in their transformation to sperms?
1. | Leydig cells | 2. | Type B spermatogonia |
3. | Type A spermatogonia | 4. | Sertoli cells |
Sperms are produced in:
1. | Rete testes | 2. | Epididymis |
3. | Seminiferous tubules | 4. | Vas deferens |
Spematogenesis begins:
1. | Before birth | 2. | Just before birth |
3. | Just after birth | 4. | At puberty |
Each ovary is connected to the pelvic wall and the uterus by:
1. | Peritoneum | 2. | Adipose tissue |
3. | Ligaments | 4. | Areolar tissue |
Which of the following is not a male accessory sex gland?
1. | Bulbourethral gland | 2. | Testis |
3. | Prostate | 4. | Seminal vesicles |
The functions of male sex accessory ducts and glands are maintained by:
1. Hypothalamic releasing hormone
2. Pituitary gonadotropins
3. Adrenal cortex steroids
4. Testicular androgens
