Which female reproductive organ is primarily responsible for producing ova (eggs)?
Cervix
Ovaries
Uterus
Fallopian tubes
The ovaries are the site of oogenesis and hormone secretion. The other structures support fertilization or pregnancy but do not produce ova.
What is the primary site of fertilization in the female reproductive tract?
Uterus
Fallopian tube
Ovary
Cervix
Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla region of the fallopian tube. The uterus and cervix are involved later in embryo transport and implantation.
Which stage immediately follows the fertilization of an ovum?
Morula
Embryo
Zygote
Blastocyst
The zygote is the single-cell stage formed immediately after sperm-egg fusion. Subsequent divisions produce the morula and then the blastocyst.
Which hormone peaks to trigger ovulation in the menstrual cycle?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Progesterone
Estrogen
A midcycle surge in luteinizing hormone initiates ovulation by causing the dominant follicle to release its oocyte. Other hormones prepare the endometrium or follicles.
Which of the following is a barrier method of contraception?
Condom
Oral contraceptive pill
Intrauterine device (IUD)
Hormonal implant
Condoms physically block sperm from entering the uterus and cervix. The other methods rely on hormonal or device-based mechanisms.
Which lifestyle factor is most strongly associated with reduced sperm quality in males?
Balanced diet
Adequate sleep
Regular exercise
Smoking cigarettes
Smoking introduces toxins that damage sperm DNA and reduce count and motility. While other factors affect health, smoking has a well-documented negative impact.
What is the function of the corpus luteum in the menstrual cycle?
Secretes progesterone
Releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Initiates follicle development
Triggers menstruation directly
After ovulation, the corpus luteum produces progesterone to maintain the endometrial lining. If pregnancy does not occur, its regression leads to menstruation.
Which phase of the uterine cycle corresponds with high estrogen levels and endometrial thickening?
Secretory phase
Follicular phase
Menstrual phase
Proliferative phase
During the proliferative phase, rising estrogen levels stimulate regeneration and thickening of the endometrium. The secretory phase follows and is progesterone-driven.
How does a levonorgestrel-based emergency contraceptive primarily prevent pregnancy?
Inhibits or delays ovulation
Thickens cervical mucus
Alters sperm maturation
Prevents implantation
Levonorgestrel works mainly by delaying or inhibiting the LH surge needed for ovulation. Its effect on cervical mucus and endometrium is secondary.
Which male reproductive structure transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts?
Vas deferens
Seminal vesicle
Prostate gland
Epididymis
The vas deferens carries sperm from the epididymis through the pelvic cavity to the ejaculatory ducts. The epididymis itself is a storage and maturation site.
Deficiency in which nutrient is most directly associated with increased risk of neural tube defects in developing embryos?
Vitamin C
Iron
Folic acid
Calcium
Folic acid is critical for neural tube closure in early embryonic development. Inadequate folate levels significantly raise the risk of defects such as spina bifida.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often leads to anovulation due to elevated levels of which hormone?
Androgens
Estrogen
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Progesterone
PCOS is characterized by hyperandrogenism, which disrupts the normal follicular development and prevents ovulation. Progesterone and estrogen imbalances are secondary.
Which contraceptive method provides protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections?
Oral contraceptive pills
Diaphragm
Copper IUD
Condom
Condoms serve as a physical barrier that prevents sperm and pathogens from entering the reproductive tract. Other methods prevent pregnancy but do not block infections.
During which part of the menstrual cycle does the endometrium become most receptive to embryo implantation?
Secretory phase
Ovulatory phase
Menstrual phase
Proliferative phase
The secretory phase, under progesterone influence, prepares the endometrium with glands and a vascular stroma conducive to embryo implantation.
High levels of which hormone signal to the hypothalamus to decrease GnRH secretion through negative feedback?
LH
Estrogen
GnRH
FSH
Elevated estrogen levels (and progesterone) feed back to the hypothalamus and pituitary to suppress GnRH, FSH, and LH production, regulating the cycle.
A 28-year-old woman experiences an anovulatory menstrual cycle. Which hormonal pattern most likely indicates anovulation?
Midcycle FSH surge without LH increase
High progesterone with low estrogen
Normal estrogen rise followed by an LH surge
Steadily low progesterone and estrogen without midcycle surges
Anovulatory cycles lack the LH surge and subsequent progesterone rise; both estrogen and progesterone remain low. Ovulatory patterns show distinct hormone peaks.
In in vitro fertilization (IVF), controlled ovarian hyperstimulation aims to increase oocyte yield by administering which hormone combination?
hCG only
GnRH agonist plus FSH
LH alone
Progesterone plus estrogen
FSH stimulates follicular growth, while a GnRH agonist prevents premature LH surges. This combination maximizes the number of mature oocytes retrieved.
Which mechanism explains how obesity influences reproductive hormone balance in females?
Decreased estrogen clearance by the liver
Increased adipose production of progesterone
Direct leptin suppression of FSH release
Higher adipose aromatase activity increases conversion of androgens to estrogens
Adipose tissue contains aromatase that converts androgens to estrogens, raising estrogen levels and potentially disrupting normal feedback and ovulatory cycles.
Which structural feature of the fallopian tube is essential for transporting the oocyte toward the uterus?
Ciliated epithelial cells lining the tube
Subserosal connective tissue layer
Muscular hypertrophy of the tunica albuginea
Mucus-secreting goblet cells
The coordinated beating of cilia on the epithelial cells moves the oocyte toward the uterine cavity. Smooth muscle contractions assist secondarily.
Why do combined oral contraceptives reduce the risk of functional ovarian cysts compared to non-users?
They stimulate a continuous LH surge preventing cysts
They thicken endometrial lining to absorb cyst fluid
They provide steady estrogen and progesterone, suppressing follicle maturation
They increase FSH, causing cyst rupture
Steady hormone levels from combined pills inhibit the normal follicular development and ovulation, preventing formation of functional cysts in the ovaries.
