Correct Answer: Ovarian follicle
Name the specific region of the reproductive system highlighted in blue below
(also indicated by the arrow).

Which of the following statements is false concerning the vagina?
A. Correct! The fundus is made of elastic fibers, blood vessels, lymph vessels
and nerves.
B. The wetness and moisture of the surface is achieved by mucous from the
cervix.
C. The elastic fibers give the vaginal wall elasticity.
D. The mucosal lining can extend.
Describe the purpose of the cervix prior to ovulation.
Correct Answer: Just prior to ovulation, the cervix swells, softens and secretes
mucus allowing sperm better access to and viability within the uterus.

Name and discuss the purpose of the region of sperm indicated by the arrow in
the figure below.
Correct Answer
The head is almost entirely nucleus containing the cell DNA with a crown called
the acrosome which contains enzymes that breakdown the membrane of the
egg to allow the sperm to penetrate.
Discuss in detail the action of sperm needed to fertilize an egg.
Correct Answer
The egg releases chemicals that attract the sperm. Sperm cells release
enzymes that break apart the corona radiata, follicle cells surrounding the egg.
Once this is accomplished, more sperm release acrosomal enzymes that make a
hole in the membrane of the egg, allowing one sperm cell to combine with the
egg. When the union of egg and one sperm occurs, the membrane of the egg
instantly chemically changes, preventing other sperm from penetrating the egg.
Which of the following is true concerning human cells?
A. Haploid cells contain the full number of chromosomes (46).
B. Diploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes (23).
Correct! C. Gamete cells are haploid cells.
