ANSWERS GRADED A+ WITH RATIONALES
“Internal ovulation” means:
A. Ova are released into the abdominal cavity and exposed to the environment
B. Human ova are released and remain inside the body
C. Ova are released outside the body through the cervix
D. Ova develop only after fertilization
Rationale: Internal ovulation refers to egg release inside the female reproductive tract.
“Insemination” refers to:
A. Implantation of the embryo into the uterus
B. Surgical removal of an ovary
C. Sperm deposited in the vagina and potential fertilization
D. Hormonal stimulation of ovulation
Rationale: Insemination is deposition of sperm into the female reproductive tract.
“Internal fertilization” is best defined as:
A. Fertilization that occurs outside the body in water
B. Ova are fertilized inside the female reproductive tract (e.g., fallopian tube)
C. Fertilization only after intrauterine insemination (IUI)
D. Fertilization that requires lab procedures only
Rationale: Internal fertilization occurs within the female reproductive tract.
“Intrauterine development” means:
A. Embryo grows externally in an artificial womb
B. Embryonic and fetal development take place inside the uterus
C. Embryo develops inside the fallopian tube only
D. Fertilization occurs in the uterus only
Rationale: Intrauterine = within the uterus throughout gestation.
“Postnatal care” commonly includes:
A. Administering vaccines to the mother only
B. Weaning the infant immediately after birth
C. Infants are fed milk produced by the mother’s breasts
D. Immediate return to full exercise
Rationale: Postnatal care includes breastfeeding support and infant care.
Female primary sex characteristics include:
A. Breast development and puberty changes only
,ESTUDYR
B. Vagina, labia, clitoris, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus
C. Body fat distribution and hair patterning
D. Voice changes and beard growth
Rationale: Primary sex characteristics are the reproductive organs present at birth.
Female secondary sex characteristics include:
A. Ovaries and uterus only
B. Distribution of body fat, breast enlargement, relatively hairless skin
C. Internal fallopian tube structure only
D. Uterine lining changes during menstruation
Rationale: Secondary traits develop at puberty and are not direct reproductive organs.
The main function of the ovaries is:
A. To filter blood and secrete erythropoietin
B. To produce ova (eggs) and sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
C. To transport sperm to the uterus
D. To store urine temporarily
Rationale: Ovaries produce gametes and steroid hormones.
Fallopian tubes (uterine tubes) primarily:
A. Store the embryo until term
B. Carry eggs from ovaries to uterus and provide site of fertilization
C. Serve as the main barrier to infection only
D. Produce menstrual blood
Rationale: Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
The uterus’s main reproductive function is:
A. Producing ova each month
B. Providing a site for implantation and supporting fetal development
C. Filtering blood cells
D. Secreting estrogen only
Rationale: The uterus nurtures implantation and intrauterine development.
The perimetrium is:
A. The innermost mucosal lining of the uterus
B. The outer thin serous layer covering the uterus
C. The muscular contractile layer
D. The cervix opening
Rationale: Perimetrium is the serosal outer layer of the uterine wall.
, ESTUDYR
The myometrium is:
A. The mucous lining that sheds monthly
B. The muscular middle layer of the uterus responsible for contractions
C. The external connective tissue covering
D. The cervical mucus-producing gland
Rationale: Myometrium is composed of smooth muscle.
The endometrium is:
A. The outer peritoneal covering
B. The inner mucous membrane lining the uterus that changes with cycle
C. The ovarian capsule
D. The fallopian tube epithelium
Rationale: Endometrium proliferates and sheds during the menstrual cycle.
The cervix functions to:
A. Produce ova
B. Connect the uterus to the vagina and regulate passage during cycle and birth
C. House penile tissue during intercourse
D. Secrete large amounts of estrogen
Rationale: Cervix is the lower uterine segment opening to the vagina.
The term orifice (vestibule) in female anatomy refers to:
A. The opening of the urethra only
B. The area surrounding the vaginal opening (vestibule)
C. The cervical canal only
D. A ligament supporting uterus
Rationale: Vestibule includes vaginal and urethral openings and surrounding area.
The Grafenberg (G) spot is described as:
A. A structure in the ovary producing estrogen
B. An anterior vaginal area that some report may trigger intense pleasure or female
ejaculation
C. A lymph node near the vulva
D. A part of the cervix that secretes mucus
Rationale: G-spot is a reported erogenous zone in some women (controversial).
