1.

The human male reproductive system is adapted for the production of

a)

sperm and the delivery of these cells for internal fertilization

gametes that transport food to the egg

c)

zygotes and the development of these cells into a fetus

d)

hormones that stimulate placenta formation in the male

2.

A reproductive system is represented in the diagram

given. Which structure is correctly paired with its

reproductive function?

a)

A – pathway of gametes

b)

B – synthesis of progesterone

c)

C – production of sperm

d)

D – regulation of homeostasis

3.

The primary function of the human male reproductive

system is to

a)

provide a site for fertilization

b)

produce and transport gametes

c)

protect and nourish the embryo

d)

prevent urine from leaving the body

4.

A diagram of the human male reproductive system is given. Which structure produces cells that have the potential to become gametes?

a)

A

b)

B

c)

C

d)

D

5.

Which structure is correctly paired with its function?

a)

ovary — provides milk for newborns

b)

testis — development of sperm

c)

placenta — storage of released eggs

d)

uterus — produces estrogen

6.

The reproductive system of a male mammal provides

a)

support for the internal development of the

embryo

b)

materials through the placenta

c)

a means for the delivery of gametes

d)

the ovaries for gamete production

7.

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram given and on your knowledge of biology. The letters in the diagram indicate structures present in a human male.

What change would occur immediately if both

structures labeled B were damaged or blocked?

a)

Structure A would decrease in size.

b)

The blood supply to structure E would decrease.

c)

Gametes would no longer be transported to

structure C.

d)

Structure D would be able to deliver more

gametes.

8.

The diagram given represents the human male reproductive system. Which activity would be prevented by blockages at X

and Y?

a)

transport of urine out of the body

b)

passage of testosterone to the female to stimulate

egg production

c)

movement of sperm out of the body

d)

movement of testosterone to the testes to

stimulate sperm production

9.

The diagram given represents a system in the human

body. The primary function of structure X is to

a)

produce energy needed for sperm to move

b)

provide food for the sperm to carry to the egg

c)

produce and store urine

d)

form gametes that may be involved in

fertilization

10.

Base your answers to questions 10 on

the picture given which represents systems in a

excretory functions?

a)

A

G

c)

C

d)

D

11.

Base your answers to question 11 on the picture given which represents systems in a human male and on your knowledge of biology.

its function?

a)

uterus—usual site of fertilization

ovary—delivers nutrients to the embryo

d)

sperm—transports genetic material

15.

The diagram given represents the human male

diagram GIVEN, which represents a necessary part of

human reproduction.

a)

CORPUS LUTEUM

b)

OVARIES

c)

TESTES

SPERM DUCT

18.

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram given and on your knowledge of biology.

Which structure is part of both the reproductive and

excretory systems?

a)

E

b)

B

c)

C

D

19.

The scrotum is an important adaptation in human

males because the optimum temperature for sperm

development is

a)

10 to 12 degrees below normal body

temperature

b)

2 to 4 degrees below normal body temperature

c)

2 to 4 degrees above normal body temperature

d)

10 to 12 degrees above normal body

20.

In human males, sperm cells are suspended in a fluid medium. The main advantage gained from this adaptation is that the fluid

a)

removes polar bodies from the surface of the

sperm

b)

activates the egg nucleus so that it begins to

divide

acts as a transport medium for sperm

d)

provides currents that propel the egg down the

oviduct
