The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by a process called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Spermatocytogenesis |
3. | Spermiogenesis | 4. | Spermatolysis |
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 |
Leydig cells synthesize androgens under the direct influence of:
1. | FSH | 2. | LH |
3. | FSH and LH | 4. | GnRH |
FSH:
1. | Acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
2. | Acts on Sertoli cells and inhibits secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
3. | Acts on Leydig cells and stimulates secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
4. | Acts on Leydig cells and inhibits secretion of some factors that help in spermiogenesis |
A cross-section at the midpoint of the middle piece of a human sperm will show :
1. | centriole, mitochondria, and 9+2 arrangement of microtubules |
2. | centriole and mitochondria |
3. | mitochondria and 9+2 arrangement of microtubules |
4. | 9+2 arrangement of microtubules only |
An organelle covering the head of animal sperm and containing enzymes that digest the egg cell coating, thus permitting the sperm to enter the egg is called as:
1. | nebenkern | 2. | manchette |
3. | head | 4. | acrosome |
In humans, the process of spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females are similar in:
1. | Age at which the processes begin |
2. | The number of resultant haploid cells |
3. | Cytokinesis |
4. | Occurring in respective primary sex organs |
The term used to describe the changes that happen to the sperm inside the female reproductive tract that allows the sperm to become capable of fertilizing the egg is:
1. | spermiogenesis | 2. | the acrosomal reaction |
3. | capacitation | 4. | implantation |
