The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called the scrotum. This is necessary as:
1. | The scrotum can contain lengthy ducts for the transfer of sperms |
2. | Scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
3. | Scrotum reduces the pressure around the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
4. | Scrotum can store huge amounts of sperms |
Each seminiferous tubule is lined by male germ cells called:
1. | Spermatogonia | 2. | Primary spermatocytes |
3. | Sertoli cells | 4. | Leydig cells |
Leydig cells:
1. | Are present in seminiferous tubules and secrete androgens |
2. | Are present in seminiferous tubules and help in the maturation of sperms |
3. | Are present in interstitial space and secrete androgens |
4. | Are present in interstitial space and help in the maturation of sperms |
The correct sequence of male sex accessory ducts beginning from testis would be:
1. | rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens |
2. | rete testis → vas deferens → vasa efferentia → epididymis |
3. | vas deferens → vasa efferentia → epididymis → rete testis |
4. | vasa efferentia → vasa deferens → epididymis → rete testis |
Seminal plasma is rich in:
1. Sucrose, calcium and certain enzymes
2. Glucose, sodium and certain enzymes
3. Fructose, calcium and certain enzymes
4. Fructose, sodium and certain enzymes
The birth canal is formed by:
1. Vagina alone
2. Vagina and the cervix
3. Vagina, cervix and uterus
4. Vagina, cervix, uterus and oviducts
The correct sequence of mammalian mammary gland ducts beginning from the alveoli would be:
1. | Mammary tubules → Mammary ducts → Mammary ampulla → Lactiferous ducts |
2. | Lactiferous ducts → Mammary ducts → Mammary ampulla → Mammary tubules |
3. | Lactiferous ducts → Mammary ampulla → Mammary ducts → Mammary tubules |
4. | Mammary tubules → Mammary ampulla → Mammary ducts → Lactiferous ducts |
The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by a process called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Spermatocytogenesis |
3. | Spermiogenesis | 4. | Spermatolysis |
The final release of sperms from the seminiferous tubules is called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Emission |
3. | Retrograde ejaculation | 4. | Ejaculation |
Which of the following helps spermatids in their transformation to sperms?
1. | Leydig cells | 2. | Type B spermatogonia |
3. | Type A spermatogonia | 4. | Sertoli cells |
