b. stores and transports gametes
c. nourishes gametes
d. all of the above

d. all of the above

The reproductive system includes

a. gonads and genitalia
b. ducts that receive and transport the gametes
c. accessory glands and organs that secrete fluids
d. all of the above

d. all of the above

Projections of the tunica albuginea, known as septae, divide the testis into

lobules
The spermatic cord is:
a bundle of tissue that contains the ductus deferens and the blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics that serve the testis
The dense layer of connective tissue that surrounds the testis is called the
tunica albuginea
Interstatial cells produce
testosterone
The sustenacular cells of the seminiferous tubules do all of the following except

a. maintain the blood-testis barrier
b. support spermatogenesis
c. secrete inhibin
d. secrete testosterone
d. secrete testosterone
Sperm production occurs in the
seminiferous tubules
Sperm develop from stem cells called
spermatagonia
The process of spermatogenesis produces
spermatozoa
Sperm are moved along the ductus deferens by
peristaltic contractions
The structure that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra is the
ductus deferens
The secretory structure that produces a secretion that contains fructose, prostaglandins, and fibrinogen is the
seminal vesicle
The structure that surrounds the urethra and produces a secretion that is slightly acidic is the
prostate gland
The small paired structures at the base of the penis that produce a lubricating secretion are the
bulbourethral glands
Semen contains all of the following except

a. spermatozoa
b. seminal fluid
c. prostaglandins
d. spermatids
d. spermatids
The fold of skin that covers the glans penis is the
prepus
The erectile tissue that is located on the anterior surface of the flaccid penis is the
corpus cavernosum
Functions of testosterone include all of the following except

a. initiation of puberty
b. determining secondary sex characteristics
c. stimulating sexual behavior and sex drive
d. promoting the functional maturation of sperm
a. initiation of puberty
The pituitary hormone that stimulates the interstitial cells to secrete testosterone is
LH
The structure that transports the ovum to the uterus is the
uterine tube
The organ that provides mechanical protection and nutritional support for the developing embryo is the
uterus

The inferior portion of the uterus that projects into the vagina is the

cervix
The muscular layer of the uterus is the
myometrium
Each of the following statements concerning oogenesis is true except one. Identify the exception.

a. At the time of birth the ovaries contain only primary oocytes.
b. The first meiotic division is completed just prior to ovulation.
c. An ovum will only complete meiosis if it is fertilized.
d. Oogenesis occurs continuously from puberty until menopause.
d. Oogenesis occurs continuously from puberty until menopause.
The surge in LH that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers
ovulation
A rise in the blood levels of FSH at the beginning of the ovarian cycle is responsible for
follicle maturation
The average length of the menstrual cycle is
28 days
During the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle
a new functional layer is formed in the uterus
During the menses
the old functional layer is sloughed off
All of the following are true of the vagina except that it

a. serves as a passageway for the elimination of menstrual fluids
b. receives the penis during sexual intercourse
c. forms the lower portion of the birth canal
d. loses a portion of its lining during menstrual flow
d. loses a portion of its lining during menstrual flow
The vulva includes all of the following except the

a. mons pubis
b. labia majora
c. clitoris
d. cervix
d. cervix
The central space bounded by the labia minora is the
vestibule
The clitoris is
a mass of erectile tissue located at the anterior margin of the labia majora
The principal hormone secreted by the corpus luteum is
progesterone
Menstruation is triggered by a drop in the levels of
estrogen and progesterone
The developing follicle cells secrete
estrogens
Contractions of the ischiocavernosus and bulbocavernosus muscles result in
ejaculation
Contraction of the cremaster muscle
move the testis closer to the body
Sally is an avid jogger and she trains incessantly. She has slimmed down so that she is now underweight for height and has very little fat tissue. You would expect Sally to
be amenorrheic
