	abdominal cavity.
	fallopian tube.
	fimbriae.
	uterus.
	vagina.

Ovulation depends on:

	very low estrogen levels and high progesterone levels.
	low levels of both FSH and LH.
	high levels of FSH and low levels of LH.
	low levels of both progesterone and estrogen.
	declining levels of FSH and a sudden surge in the levels of LH.

The cells forming the outer layer (i.e. that closest to the basement membrane) of the seminiferous tubule are the:

	sustentacular cells.
	spermatogonia.
	spermatids.
	secondary spermatocytes.
	interstitial cells.

The finger-like structures around the internal opening of the uterine or Fallopian tube are known as the:

	cortisol.
	FSH.
	LH.
	testosterone.

The interstitial cells:

	produce spermatozoa.
	produce ova.
	secrete estrogens.
	secrete testosterone.
	dissolve any spermatozoa that are not ejaculated.

The largest of the male accessory glands located at the base of the bladder is called the _____________.

	bulbourethral glands
	Bartolini's glands
	seminal receptacles
	prostate glands
	seminal vesicles

The soft, vascular mucosal lining of the uterus is the:

	corpus luteum.
	endometrium.
	fundus.
	mesentery.
	peritoneum.

The spermatic cord contains:

	spermatic artery, spermatic vein, spermatic nerve, ductus deferens, epididymis.
	spermatic artery, spermatic vein, spermatic nerve, ductus deferens.
	spermatic artery, spermatic vein, spermatic nerve, epididymis.
	spermatic artery, spermatic vein, spermatic nerve, seminal vesicle.
	ovarian artery, ovarian vein, ovarian nerve, inguinal canal.

The spermatic cord leaves the scrotum through the:

	gubernaculum.
	acoustic tube.
	eustachian tube.
	inguinal canal.
	ductus deferens.

The spermatozoa complete their maturation in the:

	rete testis.
	epididymis.
	ductus deferens.
	seminal vesicles.
	ejaculatory duct.

The tubular portion of the uterus, that extends downwards into the upper part of the vagina, is known as the:

	cervix of the uterus.
	endometrium.
	epimetrium.
	myometrium.
	peritoneum.

Vasectomy does not affect the male secondary sexual characters because:

	the bulbourethral glands are not affected.
	the ductus deferens produces the male sex hormones.
	the interstitial cells are untouched.
	the semen will still contain spermatozoa.
	the testes are found in the scrotum.

What is the cone-shaped, terminal portion of the penis?

	external auditory canal
	foreskin
	glans penis
	epididymis
	prepuce

What is the rupture of the Graafian follicle and the release of its contents called?

	fertilization
	mastication
	menstruation
	ovulation
	placentation

Which structures in the testes produce spermatozoa?

	spermatogenesis
	sustentacular cells
	interstitial cells
	seminiferous tubules
	inguinal canals

Why are the testes are located in the scrotum?

	There is no room for them in the abdominal cavity.
	They must be located closer to the penis.
	The temperature in the abdominal cavity is too high.
	They would become tangled in their ducts if they were in the abdominal cavity.
	They can move more freely during spermatogenesis.
