1. Gubernaculum connects
(a) testes with scrotum (b) testes with ovaries
9. A pair of "C" 'shaped structures which lie along the posterior border of each testis.
11. Manchette is
(a) condensed nucleus in male cell (b) condensed nucleolus in male cell
(c) condensed nucleoplasm in sperm (d) condensed centromere in sperm
(a) testicular lobules to rete testis (b) rete testis to vas deferens
17. Passage through wh ich the testes descend from abdominal cavity in scrotum is called
18. Male reproductive system contains a pair oL. A ... along with accessory…B …and ... C...
and an External…D …..Here A, B, C and D refers to
19. What is the female counterpart of prostate gland in the male (man)?
(a) Bartholin's gland (b) Uterus
(a) (i) > (ii) > (iii) (b) (iii) > (ii) >(i)
(e) gametogenesis
(a) more than one ovum produced (b) unable to bear an offspring
24. Which of the following cells present in mammalian testes help to nourish sperms?
8. (c) The secretion of prostate gland contains calcium and fibrinogen which combines with
the secretion of seminal vesicle and so the semen gets coagulated.
9. (b)
10. (a) Each human testis is oval in shape with a length of about 4 to S cm and a width of
about 2 to 3 cm.
11. (c)
12. (d)
13. (c) About 60% of total volume of semen is made up of seminal fluid.
14. (b) Vasa efferentia are ductless leading from rete testis to vas deferens. The rete testis
is an anatomizing network of tubules located in the helium of the testicles that carries
sperm nom the somniferous tubules to the vasa efferentia.
15. (b) Prostate gland is an unpaired male accessory sex gland that opens into the urethra
just below the bladder and vas deferens a, during ejaculation it secretes an alkaline
fluid. That forms part of the semen.
16. (b)
17. (b)
21. (b) Spermatids transform into sperms through spermiogenesis or spermateliosis. After
that sperm heads become embedded in Sertoli cells and are finally released from the
seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
22. (d)
23. (c) Sertoli cells are found in the walls of somniferous tubules of the testes. They anchor
and provide nutrition to the developing germ cells especially the spermatids.
24. (d) We know that Sertoli cells are non-gametic cells, present in the seminiferous tubules.
They provide nourishment for the developing sperms.
25. (d) Leydig cells or interstitial cells, which are present in. the intertubular spaces produce
a group of hormones called androgens mainly testosterone. Androgens play a major
stimulatory role in the process of spermatogenesis. (formation of spermatozoa)'
26. (d) Vasa efferentia arise from the rete testis and open into epididymis located along the
posterior surface of rete testis. The epididymis leads to vas deferens.
27. (b) Leydig's cells or interstitial. Cells are present in interstitial space in the outer region
of seminiferous tubules. Leydig's cells synthesize and secrete androgens.
28. (c) Epididymis stores the sperm and secretes a fluid, that provides nourishment to the
sperm. In epididymis the sperms are stored for few hours to a few days until it comes
out in the form of ejaculations. Sperms, if not ejaculated are reabsorbed. Testis and
epididymis are together called testicles.
29. (c) Bartholin's glands are paired glands, situated on each side of the vaginal orifice.
These glands are homologous to Cowper's glands of male and secrete viscid fluid that
supplements lubrication during sexual intercourse.
30. (a) Lactobacilli convert glycogen present in the vagina into an acidic substance which
prevents' fungal infection in the vagina.
