Which of the following statements is false concerning the functions of the vagina?
A. It serves as the birth canal
B. It provides the outlet for menstrual blood during menstruation
C. It secretes progesterone to maintain pregnancy

Describe the purpose of the cervix prior to ovulation.
the cervix swells prior to ovulation, it softens and secretes mucus which allows the sperm better access to and viability within the uterus.
Describe the purpose of the cervix during pregnancy
During pregnancy a mucus plug develops in the cervix which prevents bacteria or pathogens from entering the uterus. This protects the health of the developing fetus. Also, a firm and closed cervix will hold the developing fetus in the uterus until full term.
Label the regions of the reproductive system below: (A-C)
A: Prepuce
B: Urethral orifice
C: Vestibule
Label the regions of the reproductive system:
A.
B.
C.
A. Labia majora

True or False: Each mammary gland contains 12- 24 lobules.
True (one to two dozen)
True or false: colostrum has a similar composition to milk but contains a lower concentration of protein
False (higher concentration of protein)
True or False: Milk is not produced during pregnancy because of the production of estrogen and progesterone.
True
Blood tests indicate that progesterone and estrogen levels are both increased. Your patient is most likely in what phase of the female uterine cycle?
A. Menstrual phase
B. Proliferative phase
C. Secretory phase
D. Luteal phase
E. Follicular phase
C. Secretory phase
(The corpus luteum secretes progesterone, estrogen levels remain elevated until the end of secretory phase. Luteal and follicular are ovarian cycles, not uterine cycles)
Which of the following is false concerning the organs of the male reproductive system?

D. The epididymis is located on the posterior-lateral portion of the testis.
E. The testes function to produce sperm.
C. One produced, sperm travel to the seminal vesicles for maturation.
The _____ join with the vas deferens to form an ejaculatory duct
Seminal vesicles
The ____________connects the seminal vesicle with the urethra to allow sperm to exit the body.
Ejaculatory duct

Name and discuss the purpose of the region of sperm indicated by the arrow in the figure below.
The head is mostly nucleus which contains cell DNA with a crown called the acrosome. Acrosome contains enzymes that break apart the membrane of the egg, this allows the sperm to penetrate.
Discuss in detail the action of sperm needed to fertilize an egg.
The egg releases chemicals that attract the sperm. Sperm cells release enzymes that break apart the corona radiata, follicle cells surrounding the egg. Once occurs, many more sperm will release an acrosomal enzymes to create a hole in the membrane of the egg. This allows one sperm cell to combine with the egg. Once this union occurs, the egg and one sperm occurs, the egg will immediately alter chemically, so that no other sperm can penetrate the egg. [Show Less]
