Answer 1

ANSWER:

1. Following their production in testis, immature sperm cells are transferred just outside the testis to the epididymis, where they mature.

2.Since the pH of female "vagina" is not suitable for the survival of the sperm, secretions from the prostate gland of the male are necessary component of semen to raise the pH

3.Sperms and egg cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells, are referred to as haploid ,which comes from the Greek word haploos , meaning single.

4.FSH in males targets sertoli  cells , which indirectly enhances the sperm formation.

5. Of the 3 phases of the menstrual cycle , menstrual, proliferative, and secretory, ovulation occurs during the proliferative (follicular) stage of menstrual cycle.

6.The head of the sperm is covered by the acrosome which contains enzymes that help penetrate the layers of cells surrounding the egg.

7. In humans, the fertilization occurs in fallopian tube..

8. A common tissue between the fetus and endometrium that provides nourishment to the developing fetus is the placenta.   .

9. The muscular layer of the uterus that provides the force necessary to expel the baby during birth is called the myometrium .

10. The "vagina" meets the uterus at cervix

11. The regular pattern by which the oocytes grow , mature, and are released from the ovary is known as ovarian cycle.

12. If pregnancy occurs a layer of tissue associated with the embryo secretes the hormone HCG, which maintains the activity of the corpus luteum, in the ovaries of the mother.

13. As a primary oocyte develops within the follicle of ovary , it is nourished by granulosa cells

14. The process by which females are sterilized surgically is called Tubal ligation.

15. The only completely effective birth control method is abstinence.

16. An extensive bacterial infection of the female reproductive tract is known as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),which is most common cause of female infertility

17. A condition in females that occur when endometrial tissue moves through the oviducts and adheres to the ovaries or other organs in the abdominal cavity is endometriosis .

18.The process by which eggs in a test-tube are fertilized by sperm is called in-vitro fertilisation.
