1. hCG,hPL, progestogens, estrogens
2. hCG, hPL, estrogen, relaxin, oxytocin
3. hCG, hPL, progestogens, prolactin
4. hCG, progestogens, estrogens, glucocorticoids
The difference between spermiogenesis and spermiation is:
1. | In spermiogenesis, spermatozoa from sertoli cells are released into the cavity of seminiferous tubules, while in spermiation, spermatozoa are formed. |
2. | In spermiogenesis, spermatozoa are formed, while in spermiation, spermatids are formed. |
3. | In spermiogenesis, spermatids are formed, while in spermiation, spermatozoa are formed. |
4. | In spermiogenesis, spermatozoa are formed, while in spermiation, spermatozoa are released from sertoli cells into the cavity of seminiferous tubules. |

For normal fertility, what percent of the sperm in ejaculate must exhibit vigorous motility?
1. | 20 | 2. | 30 |
3. | 40 | 4. | 60 |
Transfer of sperms into the female genital tract is called:
1. | Insemination | 2. | Emission |
3. | Ejaculation | 4. | Spermiation |
Each seminiferous tubule is lined by male germ cells called:
1. | Spermatogonia | 2. | Primary spermatocytes |
3. | Sertoli cells | 4. | Leydig cells |
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 |
Which cell in the sperm lineage undergoes reduction division [meiosis]?
1. | Type A spermatogonia | 2. | Type B spermatogonia |
3. | Primary spermatocyte | 4. | Secondary spermatocyte |
The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called the scrotum. This is necessary as:
1. | The scrotum can contain lengthy ducts for the transfer of sperms |
2. | Scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
3. | Scrotum reduces the pressure around the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
4. | Scrotum can store huge amounts of sperms |
The final release of sperms from the seminiferous tubules is called:
1. | Spermiation | 2. | Emission |
3. | Retrograde ejaculation | 4. | Ejaculation |
