Nokea
Milky-colored fluids secreted from the
- A. epididymis prostate ________.
- B. bulbo-urethral glands
- C. nourish sperm
- D. prostate
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: bulbo-urethral glands. These glands secrete a milky-colored fluid called pre-ejaculate or Cowper's fluid, which lubricates the urethra and neutralizes any acidic urine residue to protect sperm. The other choices are incorrect because the epididymis (A) stores and matures sperm, the prostate (D) secretes a milky fluid that nourishes and protects sperm, and option C is incomplete.

The menstrual cycle lasts on average 28 days. Day 1 is the first day that ___________ starts, and usually finishes by day 5
- A. Menopause
- B. ovulation
- C. Implantation
- D. menstruation
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: menstruation. Day 1 of the menstrual cycle is the first day of menstruation, which typically lasts around 3-7 days. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining when pregnancy has not occurred. This marks the beginning of a new cycle. Menopause (A) is the cessation of menstruation and fertility typically occurring in women in their 40s-50s. Ovulation (B) is the release of an egg from the ovary, usually occurring around day 14 of the cycle. Implantation (C) is the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus, which occurs around 6-10 days after ovulation.

The external male reproductive organs consist of the penis, testes, and
- A. urethra
- B. prostate
- C. scrotum
- D. seminal vesicle
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch of skin that houses the testes, which are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. It is considered an external male reproductive organ because it plays a crucial role in maintaining the optimal temperature for sperm production. The penis is also an external male reproductive organ, but it is not part of the scrotum. The urethra is a passage for both urine and semen, and while it is part of the male reproductive system, it is not considered an external reproductive organ. The prostate and seminal vesicle are internal male reproductive organs involved in producing and secreting seminal fluid, making them incorrect choices in this context.
Birth control pills containing combinations of synthetic estrogen and progesterone compounds given for the first 21 days of the menstrual cycle are effective in preventing pregnancy. What is the explanation for their efficacy?
- A. Prevention of the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone secretion from the pituitary gland
- B. Prevention of development of the ovarian follicles
- C. Suppressing function of the corpus luteum soon after it forms
- D. Prevention of normal development of the endometrium
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Birth control pills containing estrogen and progesterone prevent the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion from the pituitary gland. This leads to the inhibition of ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. Without ovulation, fertilization cannot occur, effectively preventing pregnancy.
Choice B is incorrect because birth control pills do not prevent the development of ovarian follicles; they prevent ovulation. Choice C is incorrect because suppressing the function of the corpus luteum is not the primary mechanism of action of birth control pills. Choice D is incorrect because birth control pills do not prevent the normal development of the endometrium; they primarily prevent ovulation.
