In the process of meiosis in the ovary

In the process of meiosis in the ovary

an oocyte with 23 chromosomes is produced

In order to reach oocytes present in the uterine tubes, sperm must swim through the

vagina, cervix, and uterus

The endometrial lining of the uterus remains in place during pregnancy in large measure because of the

presence of the hormone progesterone

The point where the cervix projects into the vagina forming a hollow recess in the vagina is known as the

fornix

The ampulla, fimbriae, and infundibulum are anatomical features of the

uterine tubes

The sac that entirely encloses the embryo is the

amnion

The long ropelike structure extending from the placenta to the embryo during development is known as the

umbilical cord

During days 15-28 of the menstrual cycle

the corpus luteum secretes progesterone

During an erection, the erectile tissues of the penis

fill with blood

The corpus cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum are both

erectile tissues

One of the functions of greater vestibular glands is to

lubricate the vagina during sexual intercourse

Primary spermatocytes differ from spermatids in that

spermatocytes have more chromosomes

Blood vessel dilation in the erectile tissues of the penis is controlled

by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

During the first few days of the menstrual cycle

the stratum functionalis is sloughed off

The semen contains secretions from all of the following except

the penis

All of the following apply to the prostate gland except

the secretion of the gland is acidic

The male sex hormones are produced in the testes by the

interstitual (Ledwig) cells

The chromosomes of a mature sperm are contained

packed in the head of the cell

An ejaculate of semen contains approximately

20 - 100 million sperm

Cryptorchidism is the condition in which

the testes fail to descend into the scrotum

Secretions of the seminal vesicle

are alkaline

The cells producing sperm are located in the testes within the

seminiferous tubules

The process of spermatogenesis is one in which

sperm are produced

The alternative term for the human reproductive organs is

gonads

The process of ovulation occurs every

28-30 days

Development of the embryo takes place in the tissue layer of the uterus known as the

endometrium

To form a zygote,

the nuclei of sperm and oocyte must unite

All the following characteristics are associated with testosterone except

it is produced by the seminiferous tubules of the testes

All the following are associated with the uterus except

it is composed of one tissue layer called the myometrium

Enlargement of the prostate gland in older males

may interfere with urination

The anatomical structures associated with the scrotum include

the dartos and raphe

The tube passing from the bladder to the tip of the penis is the

urethra

The epididymis receives sperm

from the rete testes

The vas deferens is a tubular extension of the

epididymis

The hormone oxytocin is responsible for promoting

milk letdown

During pregnancy, the corpus luteum remains functional

for about three months

Lactation is the process of

production of milk by the mammary glands

A breech birth is one in which

the feet of the baby present first

The female reproductive organs are located in the pelvic cavity within a mesentery known as the

broad ligament

In a vertex presentation, the baby's __ presents first.

head

The corpus luteum forms from the

residual cells of the follicle

During days 6-14 of the menstrual cycle

follicles develop in the ovaries

The process of sperm formation in the testes is influenced by

the follicle-stimulating hormone
