What is designed to cushion and protect the growing fetus?
fallopian tubes
amniotic fluid
overaries
placenta
The process of fertilization commonly begins in the uterus.
True
False
The mature egg cell goes into the fallopian tube where it waits for a sperm cell. Thus, the fallopian tube serves as the site of fertilization.
True
False
It is the primary sex hormone in males that gives rise to secondary male characteristics such as deeper voice, facial hair, and muscle development.
estrogen
progesterone
testosterone
inhibin
It is the hormone secreted by the ovaries and responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics in females such as the widening of hips and development of breasts.
estrogen
progesterone
testosterone
inhibin
What is the periodic shedding of tissues and blood from the inner lining of the
uterus?
menopause
ovulation
pregnancy
menstruation
What is the function of the human male reproductive system?
grow and develop baby
produce egg and deliver egg to female
internal fertilization
produce sperm and deliver sperm to female
Which structure allows nutrients to pass to the embryo and takes wastes away from the embryo?
Placenta
Ovary
Testes
Fallopian tubes
By week 9 of the first trimester, what is the developing embryo now called?
Baby
infant
fetus
tiny alien
The male and female reproductive systems are regulated by...
hormones
sex drive
number of chromosomes
heredity
Which of the following conditions requires immediate emergency treatment?

PMS
Endometritis
Which condition is commonly asymptomatic but can cause pain, bloating, or menstrual irregularities?
Endometriosis
Ovarian cyst
Cervical cancer
Breast cancer
Which structure provides the site for sperm maturation and storage?
Seminiferous tubules
Epididymis
Vas deferens
Urethra
What is the primary male reproductive organ responsible for sperm production?
Urethra
Vas deferens
Testes
Epididymis
A muscular tube that transports sperm-filled semen.
Vas deferens
Fallopian tube
Scrotum
Penis
Where does fertilization of the egg typically occur?
Uterus
Vagina
Fallopian tubes
Ovaries
What is the primary function of the breasts in the female reproductive system?
Secrete female sex hormones
Produce milk for lactation
Protect internal reproductive organs
Facilitate labor
At what length of gestation is a pregnancy considered premature?
<28
<30
<37
<40
What is the primary method of preventing HPV-related cancers?
Regular Pap smears
Antibiotic treatment
HPV vaccination
Avoiding physical exertion
How do the placenta and amniotic sac work together to support the fetus?
The placenta provides oxygen and nutrients, while the amniotic sac cushions the fetus.
The placenta produces amniotic fluid, and the sac nourishes the baby.
The amniotic sac transports nutrients, while the placenta protects the baby.
The amniotic sac produces hormones, and the placenta protects the fetus.
If the amniotic fluid were reduced/absent, what challenges might arise during pregnancy?
The fetus would not receive sufficient oxygen.
The fetus could be at greater risk for physical injury.
Hormone production for the pregnancy would stop.
The placenta would fail to provide nutrients.
What distinguishes a STD from an STI?
An STD is asymptomatic, while an STI has symptoms.
An STI can progress to an STD if untreated.
An STD is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact only.
STIs are untreatable, whereas STDs are treatable.
What might happen if the bulbourethral glands failed to secrete pre-ejaculate fluid?
Sperm would not have the necessary energy to swim.
The pH in the urethra could damage sperm.
The vas deferens would become blocked.
The testes would overheat, affecting sperm production.
Leading cause of infertility, known as the "Silent Disease."
Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Herpes
HPV
Bacterial infection with stages including primary
sores, rash, and serious late complications.
Syphilis
Herpes
HPV
Chlamydia
Viral infection causing painful blisters; no cure
but manageable with antivirals.
Herpes
Syphilis
Gonorrhea
Chlamydia
A gynecologist delivers babies.
True
False
What is the function of the perineum in both males and females?
Transport eggs or sperm
Protect reproductive organs
Area between external genitalia and anus/rectum
Secrete hormones
Which symptom is NOT associated with endometriosis?
Pelvic pain
Infertility
Vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy
Dysmenorrhea
The urethra serves dual purposes in males, functioning in both the elimination of urine and ejaculation of semen.
True
False
Effacement and dilation are essential for labor. Why do both processes need to happen?
Effacement pushes the baby out, and dilation allows for breathing.
Dilation opens the cervix for delivery, and effacement thins it to facilitate passage.
Effacement allows the placenta to detach, and dilation prevents bleeding.
Both are necessary for the umbilical cord to detach safely.
Endometritis is the growth of uterine lining tissue outside the uterus.
True
False
What does effacement refer to during labor?
Opening of the cervix
Thinning of the cervix
Contraction of the uterus
Delivery of the placenta
What is the most common cancer among women worldwide?
Ovarian Cancer
Breast Cancer
Cervical Cancer
Endometrial Cancer
Which test is commonly used to screen for prostate cancer?
PSA
Pap Smear
Prostatectomy
Laparoscopy
True or false: The fallopian tubes are the usual site of fertilization in humans.
False
True
Which structure in the female reproductive system is the usual site of implantation?
Fallopian tube
Cervix
Ovary
Uterus
Which sexually transmitted infection is caused by a virus and can lead to cervical cancer?
Chlamydia
HPV
Gonorrhea
Syphilis
Which organ produces eggs and releases them during ovulation?
Uterus
Ovaries
Fallopian tubes
Cervix
True or false: Sperm cells are produced continuously throughout a male's life after puberty.
True
False
Which structure in the female reproductive system is responsible for housing and nourishing a developing fetus?
Vagina
Fallopian tube
Ovary
