Multiple Choice

Are the testes the same thing as the testicles?

• Yes, they are different terms for the same thing

• The testes are just the parts that enclose the seminiferous tubules, and the testicles refer to the testes plus the epididymis

Multiple Choice

Spermatids will mature into sperm cells called

• spermatogonium, primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, spermatid, spermatozoa

Multiple Choice

Are spermatids haploid or diploid?

• Haploid

• head

• midpiece

• tail

• all three regions

Multiple Choice

How long does spermatogenisis take?

• 2-3 weeks

• 64-72 days

• 28-30 days

• 1 year

Multiple Choice

The comma shaped part of the testicle that is found superior and and along the posterior lateral side of the testis is called the

• rete testis

• epididymis

• seminiferous tubules

• septa extension

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the epididymis?

• to provide nutrients to the developing sperm in the rete testis

• to store sperm 2 -5 years

• mature and store sperm for at least 20 days

• to add fluid to the sperm cells

Multiple Choice

With the contraction of the muscles in the epididymis walls, the sperm is expelled into what structure?

• rete testis

• seminiferous tubules

• vas deferens

• ejaculatory duct

Multiple Choice

What carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct as it passes through the inquinal canal and over the bladder?

• seminiferous tubules

• urethra

• vas deferens

• rete testis

Multiple Choice

The cutting of the vas deferens at the level of the testes to prevent transportation of the sperm is called a (an)

• deferens stint

• vasectomy

• tubal ligation

• hysterectomy

Multiple Choice

What extends from the bladder, through the prostate gland, and to the tip if the penis that carries both urine and sperm?

• Vas deferens

• urethra

• ejaculatory duct

• seminiferous tubules

Multiple Choice

What is located at the base of the bladder, and provides a substance rich in fructose, vitamin C, and prostaglandins to activate and nourish the sperm?
