Sperm are formed in tightly coiled tubes called seminiferous tubules that are found within each ________.
- A. spermatic cord
- B. testis
- C. ductus deferens
- D. epididymis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: testis. The seminiferous tubules are located within the testes, where sperm are produced through the process of spermatogenesis. The spermatic cord (A) contains blood vessels, nerves, and the vas deferens but not the seminiferous tubules. The ductus deferens (C) is a tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra, not where sperm are formed. The epididymis (D) is where sperm mature and are stored but not where they are initially formed. Therefore, the testis is the only choice where the seminiferous tubules are located for sperm production.

Three days after having a pelvic exenteration procedure, a client suddenly complains of a 'giving' sensation along her abdominal incision. You check under the dressing and find that the wound edges are open and loops of intestine are protruding. Which action should you take first?

- B. Cover the wound with saline-soaked dressings.
- C. Don sterile gloves and gently replace the intestine back in the wound.

The process of capacitation usually occurs in the _____.
- A. vagina
- B. testis
- C. prostate
- D. epididymis
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The process of capacitation occurs in the female reproductive tract, specifically in the vagina. Capacitation is essential for sperm to fertilize an egg, where they undergo changes in the female reproductive tract to become more motile and capable of penetrating the egg. The vagina provides the ideal environment for capacitation to take place due to its specific pH, temperature, and components present in the cervical mucus. The other choices (B: testis, C: prostate, D: epididymis) are incorrect as capacitation is a process that occurs in the female reproductive tract, not in the male reproductive organs.

Paraurethral (Skene’s) glands secrete
- A. Estrogen
- B. Mucus
- C. Testosterone
- D. Androgens
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The paraurethral (Skene's) glands are responsible for secreting mucus to facilitate lubrication during sexual arousal. This mucus aids in lubricating the urethra and providing moisture for sexual intercourse. Estrogen (Choice A) is a hormone produced by the ovaries and not directly related to the function of Skene's glands. Testosterone (Choice C) and androgens (Choice D) are male sex hormones and are not involved in the secretion of mucus by Skene's glands. Therefore, the correct answer is B, mucus, as it aligns with the known function of the paraurethral glands.
