Base your answer to the following question on the

diagram below, which suggests an event in human

reproduction.

In humans, the process suggested in the diagram

usually occurs in the

• A) follicle

• B) uterus

• C) vagina

• D) oviduct(fallopian tube)

Blockages caused by a condition known as Pelvic

Inflammatory Disease (PID) are represented in the

diagram of the female reproductive system below.

If blockages of this type occur, the most likely result

would be that

• A) the egg would remain in the uterus and not travel

  upward

• B) the female gamete would not be able to unite

  with the male gamete

• C) hormones could not be produced by the ovaries

• D) the process of asexual reproduction would be

  prevented or interrupted

The human reproductive system is regulated by

• A) enzymes

• B) sex cells

• C) complex carbohydrates

• D) hormones

In which organ are female primary sex cells(eggs/ovum)

produced?

• A) ovary

• B) urethra

• C) testis

• D) placenta

Some women are unable to have children because

of a blockage in that portion of their reproductive

tract where fertilization of the egg cell would

normally occur. In vitro fertilization is a technique

that has been developed to make it possible for such

women to bear their own children. This technique

involves fertilizing an egg in a sterile petri dish

environment and then implanting the developing

embryo into the mother.

The egg cells used for in vitro fertilization are most

likely surgically removed from the

• A) uterus

• B) oviduct

• C) amnion

• D) ovary

The ovary releases an egg in a process known as

• A) fertilization

• B) gestation

• C) ovulation

• D) implantation
