Fundamentals of Human Reproductive Anatomy Quiz

1. Which organ in males produces sperm and testosterone?

Testis

Liver

Pancreas

Prostate

The testis is responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone, while the prostate, pancreas, and liver have different functions in the male body.

Explanation

The testis is responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone, while the prostate, pancreas, and liver have different functions in the male body.

2. Which gamete or reproductive cell form from the male parent is produced in the testis?

Sperm

Ovum

Zygote

Embryo

Sperm is the male reproductive cell that is produced in the testis, while ovum is the female reproductive cell produced in the ovary. Zygote is formed when a sperm fertilizes an ovum, and embryo is the early stage of development after fertilization.

Explanation

Sperm is the male reproductive cell that is produced in the testis, while ovum is the female reproductive cell produced in the ovary. Zygote is formed when a sperm fertilizes an ovum, and embryo is the early stage of development after fertilization.

3. What is the mixture of sperm and a fluid that nourishes the sperm and helps them move?

Urine

Blood

Semen

Saliva

Semen is the fluid that contains sperm and provides nourishment and mobility for the sperm. Urine, blood, and saliva do not play a role in the mixture of sperm and its nourishing fluid.

Explanation

Semen is the fluid that contains sperm and provides nourishment and mobility for the sperm. Urine, blood, and saliva do not play a role in the mixture of sperm and its nourishing fluid.

4. In human females, the monthly process of egg release from an ovary is known as?

Implantation

Ovulation

Fertilization

Menstruation

Ovulation is the process where an egg is released from the ovary. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, fertilization is the fusion of an egg and sperm cell, and implantation is the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.

Explanation

Ovulation is the process where an egg is released from the ovary. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, fertilization is the fusion of an egg and sperm cell, and implantation is the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.

5. What is the term for the swollen base of the pistil where ovules form in angiosperms, and the organ that produces ova or egg cells in female animals?

Style

Petal

Ovary

Stamen

The correct term for the swollen base of the pistil in angiosperms and the organ that produces ova or egg cells in female animals is the ovary. The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower, the petal is a modified leaf that is often brightly colored, and the style is the stalk-like part of the pistil that connects the ovary to the stigma.
