Which of the following statements about the Female Reproductive System is TRUE?
Select one:
A) Follicles are located in the ovarian cortex, which has a rich supply of blood vessels and nerve fibres.
B) The female gonads secrete progesterone, estrogen, and oxytocin.
C) Connective tissue makes up the walls of the ovaries, uterus, and vagi na – whereas epithelial tissue lines the inner sides of the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and vagina.
D) Microbial growth is deterred by the non-acidic environment of the vagi na.
E) Each ovary is held in place within the abdominopelvic cavity by three ligaments – the broad, suspensory, and uterine ligaments.
What are the general characteristics of sexual reproduction in humans and other vertebrates that are associated with continuous production of many sperm cells but intermittent, finite production of egg cells?
After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern:
"If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?"
She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)!
At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick).
Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg?
In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.

- What are the benefits to sexual reproduction? In humans, which gamete is responsible for sex determination of the offspring? List all the structures of the male reproductive system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT TRUE? A) Menopause is marked by elevated levels of gonadotropins. A spermatozoon can survive for more than five days in a female reproductive tract. C) The proliferative endometrial phase is promoted by progesterone. Synthetic estrogens act as contraceptives by preventing the ovarian luteal phase. The hormonal basis of stress-induced amenorrhea is due to the influence of the limbic system on GNRH secretion.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements does NOT correctly describe a difference between the male and female reproductive systems? Select one: a. Testosterone has a major role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in male reproductive systems, whereas LH promotes the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females. b. The male reproductive system mass produces large quantities of gametes each day, whereas the female reproductive system produces an average of a single gamete each month. c. The excretory and reproductive systems both use the urethra in males, whereas in females, there are separate tubes for the excretory and reproductive systems. d. The structures that produce gametes are exterior to the body in the male reproductive system, whereas the gametes are produced inside the body for females.arrow_forward
