1. The menstrual cycle in when:

Explanation

The correct answer is "A monthly period for girls when they release eggs from their ovaries into the fallopian tube." This answer accurately describes the menstrual cycle in females. During the menstrual cycle, the ovaries release an egg in a process called ovulation. If the egg is fertilized by sperm, it may implant in the uterus and result in pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus is shed, resulting in menstrual bleeding. This cycle typically occurs once a month and is regulated by hormones.

2. When semen is pushed through and out of a  male's body through the urethra is a process called_______.

Explanation

Ejaculation is the correct answer because it refers to the process of semen being pushed through and out of a male's body through the urethra. Menstruation is the process of shedding the uterine lining in females, erection refers to the process of the penis becoming enlarged and stiff, and "none of these" is not applicable as ejaculation is the correct term for the given process.

Submit
3. What are the female sex hormones?

Explanation

Estrogen and progesterone are the female sex hormones. Estrogen is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining pregnancy. These hormones are produced primarily in the ovaries, although small amounts are also produced in the adrenal glands.

Submit
4. What is puberty?

Explanation

Puberty is the stage in human development when the reproductive system begins to produce sex hormones and the sex organs start to function. This is the period when individuals experience physical and sexual maturation, including the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as the growth of hair on the body. Therefore, the given answer accurately describes the process of puberty.

Submit
5. What is semen?

Explanation

Semen is a fluid that contains sperm, produced by the male reproductive system. It serves as a medium for sperm transport and nourishment, aiding in the fertilization of the female egg during sexual reproduction.

Submit
6. What are the main parts of a penis?

Explanation

The main parts of a penis are the shaft and glans. The shaft refers to the long, cylindrical portion of the penis, while the glans is the rounded tip at the end. These two parts are essential for sexual function and play a crucial role in sexual intercourse and stimulation. The other options mentioned, such as prepuce and eggs or foreskin and hair, are not accurate descriptions of the main parts of a penis.

Submit
7. What is the testis?

Explanation



The testes, also known as testicles, are organs in the male reproductive system that perform two important functions:

Producer of millions of sperm: The testes contain tiny structures called seminiferous tubules where sperm production (spermatogenesis) occurs. Millions of sperm are produced continuously throughout a man's life, starting at puberty.

Producer of male sex hormones: The testes also contain specialized cells called Leydig cells that produce testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone plays a crucial role in male development, including puberty, muscle growth, bone density, sex drive, and sperm production.

Therefore, the testes are essential for both sperm production and the production of male sex hormones.

8. Which of the following is NOT a function of the female reproductive system?

Explanation

The female reproductive system produces eggs, supports the development of a fetus during pregnancy, and provides nourishment to a newborn through lactation. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, mainly produced in the testes.

Submit
9. The mons pubis is ___________.

Explanation

The mons pubis refers to the fleshy area located above the top of the vaginal opening. This area is covered with pubic hair and serves as a protective cushion during sexual activity. It also plays a role in sexual attraction and arousal. The other options mentioned, such as two pairs of skin flaps surrounding the vaginal opening, are not accurate descriptions of the mons pubis.

Submit
10. What is the vulva?

Explanation

The vulva refers to the external parts of a female's reproductive organ. It includes the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal opening, and urethral opening. These structures play important roles in sexual pleasure, reproduction, and urinary function.
