A: | the primary source of testosterone or androgens in males |
B: | male germ cells in the inside lining of seminiferous tubules |
C: | spermatids released from seminiferous tubules |
D: | Present in the inside lining of seminiferous tubules, they nourish developing sperm cells |
1. | Only A, B, and C | 2. | Only A, B, and D |
3. | Only B, C, and D | 4. | A, B, C, and D |
The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by a process called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Spermatocytogenesis |
3. | Spermiogenesis | 4. | Spermatolysis |
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 |
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | Sperms constitute the majority of the volume of the semen ejaculated. |
Reason (R): | There are about 300 million sperms per ml of the ejaculate. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
1. | B and C | 2. | B and D |
3. | A and E | 4. | C and E |
What causes the onset of puberty in males?
1. | Increase in secretion of testosterone by the testis |
2. | Decrease in the secretion of testosterone by the testis |
3. | Increase in secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus |
4. | Decrease in the secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus |
Leydig cells synthesize androgens under the direct influence of:
1. | FSH | 2. | LH |
3. | FSH and LH | 4. | GnRH |
FSH:
1. | Acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
2. | Acts on Sertoli cells and inhibits secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
3. | Acts on Leydig cells and stimulates secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
4. | Acts on Leydig cells and inhibits secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
1. | 3 | 2. | 5 |
3. | 8 | 4. | 12 |
1. | Ribosomes | 2. | Golgi Apparatus |
3. | Centriole | 4. | Endoplasmic reticulum |
