REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM SAMPLE TEST

Which part of the male reproductive system is responsible for sperm storage and maturation?
- Epididymis
Which of the following glands contribute to the production of semen?
- Seminal vesicles, Bulbourethral glands, Prostate gland
Which of the following is responsible for the production of germ cells?
- Ovaries ("Germ cells" is simply another term for gametes, and thus refers to either
sperm or ovum. Ovum are produced in the ovaries. After production, the fallopian
tubes propel ovum to the uterus using the movement of cilia. The endometrium is
the lining of the uterus, and allows for implantation of a fertilized ovum.)
Where does fertilization typically take place in the female?
- Fallopian tubes
What is the site of sperm maturation and storage in males?
- Epididymis
The epididymis, vas deferens, and urethra are a series of ducts found in which body system?
- Male reproductive
What term refers to the finger-like folds that line the fallopian tubes?
- Fimbriae
Men and women are composed of the same cells, though distributed differently. Based on their cell
composition, the  _____ in boys is akin to the clitoris in girls.
- Glans
During embryonic development, which stage begins after the formation of 128 cells and terminates
with germ layer differentiation? 
- Blastula stage
From what germ layer does the nervous system develop?
- Ectoderm
