5.3.4 Human Reproduction

• What do the testes produce in the male reproductive system?

  Sperm and testosterone
• What fluid does the prostate gland produce in the male reproductive system?

  Semen
• Match the structure of the female reproductive system with its function:

  Ovaries ↔️ Produce eggs and hormones

  Fallopian tubes ↔️ Transport eggs to the uterus

  Uterus ↔️ Site of egg implantation
• What three processes occur in the vagina of the female reproductive system?

  Intercourse, menstruation, childbirth
• Menstruation involves the shedding of the uterine lining
• The scrotum is an external pouch that regulates the temperature of the testes
• The vas deferens transports sperm from the testes to the urethra.

  True
• The urethra in the male reproductive system transports semen out of the body during ejaculation
• The cervix is the opening of the uterus that connects to the vagina.


  True
• Arrange the stages of the menstrual cycle in the correct order:

  1️⃣ Menstruation

  2️⃣ Follicular phase

  3️⃣ Ovulation

  4️⃣ Luteal phase
• During which phase of the menstrual cycle does the uterine lining thicken in preparation for implantation?

  Luteal phase
• What is the term for the release of a mature egg from the ovary?

  Ovulation
• Menstruation involves the shedding of the uterine lining.

  True
• How long does the menstrual cycle typically last?

  28 days
• Spermatogenesis begins at puberty and continues throughout life
• Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis reduce diploid cells to haploid cells.


  True
• Which structure in the male reproductive system produces sperm and testosterone?

  Testes
• The vas deferens transports sperm from the testes to the urethra.


  True
• The urethra in the male reproductive system transports semen out of the body during ejaculation
• The uterus is where a fertilized egg implants and develops during pregnancy.


  True
• What is the term for the cell formed when a sperm fuses with an egg?

  Zygote
• The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days but can vary between individuals.


  True
• The menstrual cycle is a series of regular, cyclic changes that occur in the female reproductive system
• Stages of the menstrual cycle in the correct order

  1️⃣ Menstruation

  2️⃣ Follicular phase

  3️⃣ Ovulation

  4️⃣ Luteal phase
• How many functional sperm cells are produced per meiotic division in spermatogenesis?

  Four
• Match the gamete production process with its characteristic:

  Spermatogenesis ↔️ Produces four functional sperm cells

  Oogenesis ↔️ Produces one functional egg cell
• The scrotum is an external pouch that houses and regulates the temperature of the testes
• Which gland in the male reproductive system produces a fluid that mixes with sperm to form semen?

  Prostate gland
• Which structure in the female reproductive system produces eggs and female sex hormones?

  Ovaries
• Match the stage of the menstrual cycle with its description:

  Menstruation ↔️ Shedding of the uterine lining

  Ovulation ↔️ Release of a mature egg

  Luteal phase ↔️ Uterine lining thickens
• After fertilization, the zygote travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the thickened uterine lining
