    Seminiferous tubules → epididymis → ductus deferens

  3. C

A developing ovarian follicle produces sustained high levels of estrogen. Which event is most likely to follow and directly trigger ovulation?

  1. A

    FSH falls, triggering progesterone release from the endometrium.

  2. B

    Progesterone surges, causing the dominant follicle to release an oocyte.

  3. C

    Sustained high estrogen leads to an LH surge, triggering ovulation.

  4. D

    GnRH stops, causing the corpus luteum to release an oocyte.

Which pairing correctly describes the roles of FSH and LH in ovarian function?

  1. A

    FSH supports follicle development; LH helps trigger ovulation and corpus luteum formation.

  2. B

    FSH triggers ovulation; LH supports follicle development.

  3. C

    FSH maintains the endometrium after ovulation; LH produces progesterone in the uterus.

  4. D

    FSH forms the corpus luteum; LH causes menstrual flow.

    Blastocyst → zygote → morula → implantation

  2. B

    Zygote → morula → blastocyst → implantation

  3. C

    Morula → blastocyst → implantation → zygote

  4. D

    Zygote → blastocyst → implantation → morula

Select all statements that correctly describe human gametes and the chromosome number restored at fertilization.

  1. A

    Each human gamete has 23 chromosomes.

  2. B

    A human zygote normally has 23 chromosomes.

  3. C

    Fertilization combines the genetic material of two haploid gametes.

  4. D

    The zygote has 46 chromosomes after the two gametes unite.

Select all statements that correctly describe the blastocyst and implantation.

  1. A

    The inner cell group develops into the embryo.

  2. B

    The outer cell layer alone becomes the embryo.

  3. C

    The outer cell layer contributes to supporting structures, including the fetal portion of the placenta.

  4. D

    Implantation involves the blastocyst attaching to and embedding in the endometrium.

If pregnancy does not occur after ovulation, which sequence best explains the start of menstrual flow?

  1. A

    The corpus luteum grows and progesterone rises, causing the endometrium to shed.

  2. B

    The dominant follicle releases another oocyte, which directly causes menstrual flow.

  3. C

    The corpus luteum regresses, hormone levels fall, and the functional endometrial layer is shed.

  4. D

    The endometrium is shed while estrogen and progesterone remain high.

    Ductus deferens

  4. D

    Ejaculatory ducts

If the hypothalamus releases GnRH, which response should follow in the reproductive hormone pathway?

  1. A

    The hypothalamus directly releases FSH and LH.

  2. B

    The pituitary releases GnRH, prompting the hypothalamus to release FSH and LH.

  3. C

    The hypothalamus releases GnRH, prompting the pituitary to release FSH and LH.

  4. D

    The ovaries release GnRH, prompting the pituitary to release FSH and LH.

After ovulation, which structure produces progesterone that makes the endometrium more suitable for implantation?

  1. A

    The corpus luteum produces progesterone, making the endometrium more suitable for implantation.

  2. B

    The dominant follicle produces progesterone, triggering the endometrium to shed.

  3. C

    The endometrium produces progesterone, causing the corpus luteum to form.

  4. D

    The cervix produces progesterone, preparing the oocyte for fertilization.
