TEAS 7 Female Reproductive System Practice Questions

TEAS Memory Trick #1

O-F-U-C-V

Remember the pathway:

Ovary → Fallopian Tube → Uterus → Cervix → Vagina

🧠 Memory Tick: "Only Females Use Cervical Vacations"

This helps identify structures from top to bottom.

Which structure produces ova (eggs)?

A. Uterus

B. Ovary

C. Cervix

D. Vagina

B. Ovary

TEAS Tip: The ovaries are the female gonads.

🧠 Memory Tick: Ovary = Ova

Where does fertilization most commonly occur?

A. Uterus

B. Cervix

C. Fallopian tube (ampulla)

D. Vagina

C. Fallopian tube (ampulla)

TEAS Tip: One of the most frequently tested TEAS questions.

🧠 Memory Tick: "Fertilization Floats in the Fallopian tube."

What is the primary function of the uterus?

A. Produce eggs

B. Produce estrogen

C. Site of implantation and fetal development

D. Transport sperm

C. Site of implantation and fetal development

TEAS Tip: The uterus is where the embryo implants and grows.

🧠 Memory Tick: Uterus = Baby's Room

The lower narrow portion of the uterus that opens into the vagina is called the:

A. Endometrium

B. Fundus

C. Cervix

D. Ovary

C. Cervix

🧠 Memory Tick: Cervix = Doorway to the Uterus

Which hormone is primarily responsible for maintaining pregnancy?

A. Estrogen

B. Inhibin

C. Progesterone

D. Relaxin

C. Progesterone

TEAS Tip: Progesterone keeps the uterine lining thick.

🧠 Memory Tick: PRO-gesterone = PROtects pregnancy

Which hormone stimulates development of female secondary sex characteristics?

A. Estrogen

B. Relaxin

C. Inhibin

D. Oxytocin

A. Estrogen

🧠 Memory Tick: Estrogen = "Establishes" female traits

What is the function of the fallopian tubes?

A. Produce hormones

B. Receive sperm only

C. Transport the ovum to the uterus

D. Implant the embryo

C. Transport the ovum to the uterus

🧠 Memory Tick: Tube = Transportation

Which layer of the uterus is the site of implantation?

A. Myometrium

B. Endometrium

C. Perimetrium

D. Cervix

B. Endometrium

Relaxin helps prepare for childbirth by:

A. Stimulating ovulation

B. Thickening the endometrium

C. Relaxing pelvic ligaments and softening the cervix

D. Producing milk

C. Relaxing pelvic ligaments and softening the cervix

🧠 Memory Tick: Relaxin = Relaxes

What hormone inhibits FSH secretion?

A. Estrogen

B. Inhibin

C. Progesterone

D. Relaxin

B. Inhibin

🧠 Memory Tick: INHIBin = INHIBits FSH

During which phase does ovulation occur?

A. Menstrual phase

B. Secretory phase

C. Ovulation phase

D. Implantation phase

C. Ovulation phase

TEAS Tip: Ovulation usually occurs around Day 14 of a 28-day cycle.

🧠 Memory Tick: Day 14 = Release the Egg

If fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will travel to the:

A. Cervix

B. Vagina

C. Uterus

D. Ovary

C. Uterus

🧠 Memory Tick: Fertilize in Tube → Grow in Uterus

Which reproductive organ secretes estrogen and progesterone?

A. Uterus

B. Cervix

C. Ovaries

D. Vagina

C. Ovaries

🧠 Memory Tick: Ovaries = Eggs + Hormones

Place the following structures in the correct order that an ovum travels.

1. Ovary

2. Uterus

3. Fallopian tube

4. Cervix

5. Vagina

A. 1 → 3 → 2 → 4 → 5

B. 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5

C. 3 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 5

D. 1 → 3 → 4 → 2 → 5

A. 1 → 3 → 2 → 4 → 5

TEAS Super-Memory Sheet

Structure —> Must Know

Ovary —> Produces eggs, estrogen, progesterone

Fallopian Tube —> Fertilization occurs here

Uterus —> Implantation and fetal development

Cervix —> Opening of uterus

Vagina —> Birth canal

Estrogen —> Female characteristics

Progesterone —> Maintains pregnancy

Inhibin —> Inhibits FSH

Relaxin —> Softens cervix and pelvic ligaments

TEAS Exam "Instant Answer" Rule

When you see:

Produces eggs? → Ovary

Fertilization? → Fallopian tube

Implantation? → Uterus

Birth canal? → Vagina

Maintains pregnancy? → Progesterone

Day 14? → Ovulation

🧠 Master Memory Sentence: "Eggs from Ovaries, Fertilize in Tubes, Grow in Uterus, Exit through Vagina."
