Unit 5 Human Body Practice Exam

Question 1 of 100

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Male gametes are produced in the ( (1) testes, (1) prostate, (1) epididymis ) in structures called seminiferous tubules. From there, the sperm move into the ( (2) epididymis, (2) testes, (2) prostate ) where they become motile and are stored until sexual arousal causes them to move into the ( (3) ductus deferens, (3) fallopian tube (oviduct), (3) seminiferous tubules ). A vasectomy involves litigating and cutting this structure, which prevents sperm from moving into the ( (4) urethra, (4) uterus, (4) seminiferous tubules ), which would carry the sperm out of the male body during ejaculation. If a male has not had a vasectomy, then during sex, sperm are ejaculated into the ( (5) vagina, (5) ovary, (5) uterus ). After this, they swim to the ( (6) uterus, (6) cervix, (6) ovary ) and then are moved by contractions of the muscular wall of the female reproductive tract to the place where fertilization normally occurs. Female gametes are produced in the ( (7) ovary, (7) cervix, (7) uterus ). In response to changing hormone levels, an oocyte is ovulated and if all goes well, it gets drawn into the ( (8) fallopian tube, (8) vagina, (8) ovary ). Cilia lining the female reproductive tract move this oocyte (or developing embryo, if fertilization occurs) into the ( (9) uterus, (9) vagina, (9) fallopian tube ), where implantation should occur if the oocyte has been fertilized.
