The formation of the three embryonic germ layers is called:
1. | morulation | 2. | blastulation |
3. | neurulation | 4. | gastrulation |
Chorion in terrestrial vertebrate embryos:
1. | prevents desiccation of the embryo |
2. | helps in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment |
3. | perform excretory functions |
4. | acts as a shock absorber |
The functions of the placenta include:
I: | Acts as an excretory organ. |
II: | Acts as a respiratory organ. |
III: | Acts as an endocrine organ. |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
During cleavage divisions, successive blastomeres:
1. have a decreasing nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio
2. become smaller and smaller
3. grow larger and larger
4. undergo meiotic divisions.
A maturing ovarian follicle consisting of an oocyte surrounded by two or more layers of tall, supporting granulosa cells but lacking an antrum is:
1. | Primordial follicle | 2. | Primary follicle |
3. | Secondary follicle | 4. | Graafian follicle |
Identify the correctly matched pair:
1. | cryptorchidism: failure of testes to descend into the scrotum |
2. | semen: largest contributor is prostate |
3. | puberty: stage of development before the reproductive organs become functional |
4. | primordial follicle: the first stage of meiosis for oogenesis |
Sperm-producing cells have unique antigens yet they are not attacked by the immune cells because of:
1. | antigens are recognized as self-antigens. |
2. | acrosome at the tip. |
3. | protection by the blood-testis barrier. |
4. | inhibitors attached on the surface. |
Menstrual irregularities may be seen in women athletes due to:
1. | increase in androgen secretion by the adrenal cortex |
2. | decrease in androgen secretion by the adrenal cortex |
3. | increased secretion of GnRH |
4. | decreased secretion of GnRH |
Chose the correct chronological order in which the following cells are produced:
a. | primary spermatocytes | b. | secondary spermatocytes |
c. | spermatids | d. | spermatogonia |
e | sperm cells |
1. | a,b,c,d,e | 2. | b,a,c,e,d |
3. | c,a,b,d,e | 4. | d,a,b,c,e |
A pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue which contain most of the blood in the penis during an erection are called:
1. | corpus spongiosum | 2. | corpora cavernosa |
3. | crus of the penis | 4. | glans penis |
