Extrusion of the second polar body from the egg nucleus occurs:
1. | simultaneously with the first cleavage |
2. | after entry of sperm but before fertilization |
3. | after fertilization |
4. | before entry of sperm into the ovum |
Select the correct sequence for the transport of sperm cells in the male reproductive system:
1. | Testis → Epididymis → Vasa efferentia → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Inguinal canal → Urethra → Urethral meatus |
2. | Testis → Epididymis → Vasa efferentia → Rete testis → Inguinal canal → Urethra |
3. | Seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → Vasa efferentia → Epididymus → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Urethra → Urethral meatus |
4. | Seminiferous tubules → Vasa efferentia → Epididymis → Inguinal canal → Urethra |
