  • 2. 

    Agent that kills sperm

    • Orchidectomy

    • Spermicide

    • Spermatozoon

    • Sperm

    Correct Answer
    A. Spermicide
    Explanation
    A spermicide is a substance that is designed to kill or immobilize sperm. It is used as a contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy by destroying sperm before they can reach and fertilize an egg. Spermicides are available in various forms such as gels, creams, foams, and suppositories, and they typically contain chemicals that are toxic to sperm, such as nonoxynol-9. By using a spermicide, individuals can reduce the risk of pregnancy during sexual intercourse.

    Thin protective sheath worn over the penis during copulation to help prevent impregnation or venereal disease

    • Condom

    • Prepuce

    • Gamete

    • Genital warts

    Correct Answer
    A. Condom
    Explanation
    A condom is a thin protective sheath that is worn over the penis during sexual intercourse to prevent impregnation or the transmission of venereal diseases. It acts as a barrier between the penis and the vagina, preventing sperm from reaching the egg and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Condoms are made of latex or other materials and are highly effective when used correctly.

  • 4. 

    Inability to produce a viable offspring

    • Prepuce

    • Infertility

    • Coitus

    • Circumcision

    Correct Answer
    A. Infertility
    Explanation
    Infertility refers to the inability to conceive a child or produce a viable offspring. It can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, structural abnormalities, or reproductive disorders. The other terms mentioned in the question, such as prepuce (foreskin), coitus (sexual intercourse), and circumcision (surgical removal of the foreskin), are unrelated to infertility.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Surgical procedure of removing the foreskin from the penis

    • Syphilis

    • Circumcision

    • Gamete

    • Prepuce

    Correct Answer
    A. Circumcision
    Explanation
    Circumcision is the surgical procedure of removing the foreskin from the penis. This procedure is commonly performed for cultural, religious, or medical reasons. It is not related to syphilis, which is a sexually transmitted infection. The term "gamete" refers to a reproductive cell, such as sperm or egg, and "prepuce" refers to the fold of skin covering the glans of the penis. Therefore, circumcision is the correct answer as it specifically relates to the surgical removal of the foreskin.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Mature reproductive cell of the male or female

    • Prepuce

    • Coitus

    • Gamete

    • Circumcision

    Correct Answer
    A. Gamete
    Explanation
    A gamete is a mature reproductive cell of the male or female. It is the cell responsible for sexual reproduction and contains half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell. Gametes combine during fertilization to form a zygote, which eventually develops into a new individual. The other options listed, prepuce, coitus, and circumcision, are not related to gametes or reproductive cells.

  • 7. 

    Surgical excision of the testicle

    • Condyloma

    • Spermicide

    • Orchidectomy

    • Eugenics

    Correct Answer
    A. Orchidectomy
    Explanation
    Orchidectomy refers to the surgical removal of the testicle. This procedure is commonly performed to treat testicular cancer or to prevent the spread of cancer cells. It may also be performed as a part of gender reassignment surgery. The term "orchidectomy" is derived from the Greek word "orchis" meaning testicle and "ektome" meaning excision.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Wart like growth on the skin

    • Hydrocele

    • Prepuce

    • Condyloma

    • Testicular

    Correct Answer
    A. Condyloma
    Explanation
    A condyloma is a wart-like growth on the skin that is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect both men and women. Condylomas typically appear as small, flesh-colored bumps on the genital area, but can also occur in other areas such as the anus or mouth. They are usually painless but can cause itching or discomfort. Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy, or surgical removal. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have a condyloma to prevent further spread of the infection.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Inflammation of the glans penis

    • Testicular

    • Vasectomy

    • Balanitis

    • Chlamydia

    Correct Answer
    A. Balanitis
    Explanation
    Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans penis, which is the rounded head of the penis. It can be caused by various factors such as poor hygiene, infections, or irritation. Symptoms of balanitis include redness, swelling, itching, and pain in the affected area. Treatment usually involves keeping the area clean, using topical creams or ointments, and in some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Surgical excision of the epididymis 

    • Epididymectomy

    • Orchidectomy

    • Condyloma

    • Vasectomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Epididymectomy
    Explanation
    Epididymectomy refers to the surgical removal of the epididymis, which is a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle. This procedure is usually performed to treat conditions such as epididymitis, a painful inflammation of the epididymis, or to remove a cyst or tumor from the epididymis. Orchidectomy, on the other hand, refers to the surgical removal of the testicle, condyloma is a term used to describe genital warts, and vasectomy is a procedure that involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens to prevent sperm from reaching the semen.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Male sex cell

    • Seed

    • Spermatozoon

    • Spermicide

    • Prepuce

    Correct Answer
    A. Spermatozoon
    Explanation
    A spermatozoon is a male sex cell responsible for fertilizing the female egg during sexual reproduction. It is a microscopic, motile cell that is produced in the testes of males. The spermatozoon is specialized for its function, with a streamlined shape and a long tail that allows it to swim towards the egg. Once it reaches the egg, it can penetrate and fertilize it, leading to the formation of a new organism.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Foreskin over the glans penis

    • Prepuce

    • Hydrocele

    • Spermatozoon

    • Testicular

    Correct Answer
    A. Prepuce
    Explanation
    The prepuce refers to the foreskin, which is a retractable piece of skin that covers and protects the glans penis. It is a natural part of male genitalia and serves various functions, including keeping the glans moist, protecting it from friction, and maintaining sensitivity. The prepuce can be removed through a surgical procedure called circumcision.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Sexual intercourse between a man and a woman

    • Circumcision

    • Condom

    • Gamete

    • Coitus

    Correct Answer
    A. Coitus
    Explanation
    Coitus refers to sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. It is a term commonly used in medical and scientific contexts to describe the act of sexual intercourse. The other options, such as circumcision, condom, and gamete, are not directly related to the act of sexual intercourse. Circumcision is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the foreskin, condom is a contraceptive device, and gamete refers to a reproductive cell. Therefore, coitus is the most appropriate term that specifically describes the sexual act between a man and a woman.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Causes purulent urethral discharge in the male and purulent vaginal discharge in the female

    • Coitus

    • Gonorrhea

    • Syphilis

    • Genital warts

    Correct Answer
    A. Gonorrhea
    Explanation
    Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can cause purulent urethral discharge in males and purulent vaginal discharge in females. The infection is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and increased risk of HIV transmission. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if any symptoms of gonorrhea, including purulent discharge, are present.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Accumulation of fluid in a sac like cavity

    • Testicular

    • Condyloma

    • Hydrocele

    • Spermatoblast

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrocele
    Explanation
    A hydrocele is the accumulation of fluid in a sac-like cavity. This condition typically occurs in the scrotum, causing swelling and discomfort. It is not related to testicular, condyloma, or spermatoblast.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Disease caused by the human papillomavirus

    • Gamete

    • Gonorrhea

    • Genital warts

    • Syphilis

    Correct Answer
    A. Genital warts
    Explanation
    Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a sexually transmitted infection. HPV is transmitted through sexual contact and can cause warts to develop on the genitals or around the anus. These warts can vary in size and may be raised or flat. Genital warts are highly contagious and can be spread even if there are no visible warts present. It is important to seek medical treatment for genital warts as they can cause discomfort, itching, and may increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Sperm germ cell

    • To throw out

    • Testicular

    • Spermicide

    • Spermatoblast

    Correct Answer
    A. Spermatoblast
    Explanation
    A spermatoblast is a type of germ cell found in the testicles that eventually develops into sperm. It is the precursor to sperm formation and undergoes a series of divisions to produce mature sperm cells. The other terms mentioned, such as "spermicide" and "to throw out," do not directly relate to the process of sperm cell development. Therefore, the correct answer is spermatoblast.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Caused by a parasitic protozoa

    • Gonorrhea

    • Syphilis

    • Trichomoniasis

    • Infertility

    Correct Answer
    A. Trichomoniasis
    Explanation
    Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasitic protozoa, which is the reason it is the correct answer. Gonorrhea and syphilis are caused by bacteria, not protozoa, so they are not the correct answers. Infertility is a potential consequence of untreated or severe cases of trichomoniasis, but it is not the cause of trichomoniasis itself.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum

    • Gonorrhea

    • Genital warts

    • Syphilis

    • Trichomoniasis

    Correct Answer
    A. Syphilis
    Explanation
    Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. This sexually transmitted infection can be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Syphilis can also be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. The infection progresses in stages, starting with a painless sore called a chancre, followed by a rash, flu-like symptoms, and potentially serious complications if left untreated. It can be diagnosed through blood tests and treated with antibiotics. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have syphilis or have been exposed to it.
