Answer: J 
 The head of the sperm contains the genetic material needed for fertilization.

Answer: R 
 The tail of the sperm allows for motility and movement towards the egg.

Answer: D 
 The seminal vesicles are a pair of glands that contribute fluid to semen.

Answer: O 
 The epididymis is a long, coiled tube where sperm mature and become motile.

Answer: L 
 The prostate gland is a gland that secretes fluid that is a component of semen.

Answer: N 
 The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in the ovaries that develops after ovulation and secretes hormones, including progesterone, that help prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy.

Answer: T 
 The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus that thickens during the menstrual cycle in preparation for pregnancy.

Answer: U 
 The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and allows for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen and waste products between the mother and developing fetus.

The answer of Describe the regulation of the ovarian and...

Question 7

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-site of final maturation of sperm for motility and fertility in the male

Accepted Answer

The epididymis is the site of final maturation of sperm for motility and fertility in the male.

Question 8

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-secretes estrogen but not progesterone

Accepted Answer

The ovarian follicle secretes estrogen but not progesterone before ovulation; progesterone is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum after ovulation.

Question 9

Describe regulation of spermatogenesis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Describe regulation of spermatogenesis....

Question 10

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-secretes alkaline fluid to neutralize acidic vaginal secretions

Accepted Answer

The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that is part of the semen. This fluid helps to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina, facilitating the survival and mobility of sperm.

Question 11

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-secretes estrogen and progesterone during the last seven months of gestation

Accepted Answer

The placenta is responsible for secreting estrogen and progesterone during the last seven months of gestation, supporting the pregnancy.

Question 12

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-consists primarily of the nucleus that contains the sperm's genetic information

Accepted Answer

The head of the sperm contains the genetic information.

Note: The item "midpiece of sperm" also contains genetic information in the mitochondria, but the question specifies the nucleus as the primary location.

Question 13

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-portion of blastocyst responsible for accomplishing implantation

Accepted Answer

The trophoblast is the portion of the blastocyst responsible for accomplishing implantation.

Question 14

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-organ of exchange between mother and fetus

Accepted Answer

The placenta is the organ of exchange between mother and fetus, allowing for the transfer of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus and removal of waste products.

Question 15

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-destined to become the fetal portion of the placenta

Accepted Answer

The trophoblast is the outer layer of cells in a developing embryo that eventually becomes the fetal portion of the placenta.

Answer: U 
 The placenta is the organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy and allows for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother and fetus.

Answer: P 
 The ovarian follicle is a small fluid-filled sac within the ovary that contains an immature egg, which will eventually be released during ovulation. It is not directly involved in the formation of the placenta.

Answer: G 
 The inner cell mass is a group of cells inside the blastocyst stage of an embryo that eventually develops into the fetus. It is not directly involved in the formation of the placenta.

Answer: E 
 The oviduct, also called the fallopian tube, is the structure that connects the ovary to the uterus and is the site of fertilization. It is not directly involved in the formation of the placenta.

Question 16

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-supplies fructose utilized by sperm for energy

Accepted Answer

Fructose is supplied by the seminal vesicles, which secrete a fluid that contains fructose that is utilized by sperm for energy.

Indicate which item best matches the description in each question by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all). There is only one correct response for each.
-secretes estrogen and progesterone during the first 10 weeks of gestation

Accepted Answer

The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland formed from the ruptured ovarian follicle after ovulation. It secretes estrogen and progesterone during the first 10 weeks of gestation.
