Question-1

Which of the following best represents the normal path of a sperm cell as it makes its way from the point of entry into thefemale’s reproductive tract to the place where fertilization typically occurs ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

A sperm is ejected by the male into the vagina. From the vagina the sperm move through the cervix into the uterus and finally the oviduct where fertilization occurs.


Question-2

In human adult females oxytocin

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

In human adult female oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland (neurohypophysis), that causes contraction of the uterus during labour and stimulates milk flow from the breasts by causing contraction of muscle fibres in the milk ducts.


Question-3

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-4

If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized, which one of the following is unlikely?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

If the mammalian ovum fails to fertilize choices, (a) and (b) are obvious. Since corpus luteum declines so progesterone also decreases rapidly (progesterone is essential for maintenance of pregnancy). Also estrogen continues to cause growth of the endometrium which ultimately becomes thick enough to break down and cause menstruation. Hence choice (c) is incorrect as estrogen secretion does not decrease further. Primary follicles continue developing irrespective of ovulatory condition.


Question-5

Select the correct option describing gonadotropin activity in a normal pregnant female.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

The trophoblastic cells secrete human chorionic gonadotropin hormone which has properties similar to those of luteinising hormone (LH) of the pituitary gland. It takes over the job of pituitary LH during pregnancy. The hCG maintains the corpus luteum and stimulates it to secrete progesterone. The latter maintains the endometrium of the uterus and causes it to grow throughout pregnancy. This also prevents menstruation. Progesterone also causes increased secretion of mucus in the cervix of the uterus that forms a protective plug during pregnancy.
