  2. meiosis-I

  3. mitosis

  4. amitosis

Which of the following events is/are correctly matched with time period of a normal menstrual cycle?

  1. Release of ovum : 5th day

  4. Rise in progesterone level : 1 - 15 days

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Endometrium regenerates within 5 - 6 days of the cycle.

Prepuce and fourchette are formed by

  1. anterior and posterior fusion of labia minora

  2. anterior and posterior fusion of labia majora

  3. posterior and anterior fusion of labia majora

  4. posterior and anterior fusion of labia minora

  5. clitoris


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Labia minora fuses anteriorly to form a skin fold called perpuce in front of small erectile organ, the clitoris. Labia minora also fuse posteriorly to form a membranous fold, called fourchette.

Which of the following is the placenta with only three barriers between fetal and maternal blood?

  1. Epitheliochorial

  2. Syndesmochorial

  3. Endotheliochorial

  4. Haemochorial

Explanation:

It is the placenta with only three barriers.

Which of the following parts of human sperm helps in the metabolism of the whole sperm?

  1. Acrosome

  2. Mitochondrion

  3. Nucleus

  4. Centriole

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mitochondrion is present in the middle piece of sperm as it provides energy (in the form of ATP) to the sperm for entry into the ova and helps in the metabolism of the whole sperm.

Testes are covered in a special sac called scrotal sac. What is the function of it?

  1. Spermatogenesis

  2. Sex differentiation

  3. To provide more space to internal organs

  4. To help in the independent functioning of kidneys

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the meiotic division through which the sperms are formed. This occurs in scrotal sac. Its main function is to provide the ideal temperature required for sperm formation.

One of the major parts of the female reproductive system consists of cervix. Which part is it?

  1. Kidney

  2. Fallopian tube

  3. Vagina

  4. Epididymis

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vagina contains cervix. This part gets dilated at the time of child birth.

Every woman in her lifetime encounters a major phenomenon called menopause. At what average age is menopause achieved?

  1. 70 years

  2. 14 years

  3. 55 years

  4. 25 years

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

50 years to 55 years is the average age of menopause in the females. At this stage, menstrual cycle completely stops.

When a baby is born, it immediately needs milk for its nutrition. Which hormone is responsible for milk ejection after the baby's birth?

  1. Oxytocin

  2. Progesterone

  3. Estrogen

  4. Prolactin

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxytocin is responsible for milk ejection after a baby's birth.

Zygote is formed by the fertilisation of sperm and ova. It develops into an embryo by division of cells. It gets implanted in the uterine wall and is called

  1. embryo

  2. foetus

  3. blastocycst

  4. zygote

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During implantation, a zygote is termed as blastocyst. The blastocyst is a structure formed in the early development of mammals. It possesses an inner cell mass (ICM), which subsequently forms the embryo.

On 14th day of menstrual cycle, all of the following hormones are at their maximum levels of secretion/production, except

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3. LH

  4. FSH

  5. LH and FSH


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Progesterone levels are not at peak during ovulation period.

Which of the following parts of fallopian tubes is closer to the ovary?

  1. Infundibulum

  2. Ampulla

  3. Isthmus

  4. Fimbrae

  5. Oviduct


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The oviducts (fallopian tubes), the uterus and the vagina constitute the female accessory ducts. Each fallopian tube is about 10-12 cm long and extends from the periphery of each ovary to the uterus; the part closer to the ovary is the funnel-shaped infundibulum.

At which stage of development is ovum released from ovaries?

  1. Primary oocyte

  2. Secondary oocyte

  3. Tertiary oocyte

  4. Zygote

  5. Quaternary stage


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The tertiary follicle changes into the mature follicle or Graafian follicle. The secondary oocyte forms a new membrane called zona pellucida surrounding it. The Graafian follicle now ruptures to release the secondary oocyte (ovum) from the ovary by the process called ovulation.

Prenatal period is also known as

  1. post-embryonic period

  2. insemination

  3. gametogenesis

  4. embryonic period


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Includes events from the formation of embryo to the time of birth

Which of the following includes bleeding phase?

  1. Follicular phase

  2. Leuteal phase

  3. Secretary phase

  4. Menstrual phase

  5. Ovulatory phase


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Includes cycle days 1-5 and bleeding takes place during this phase

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. An embryo with 8 to 16 blastomeres is called a morula.

  2. A morula continues to divide and transforms into blastocyst.

  3. The size of each cell of a morula is equal to a zygote.

  4. Blastocyst has a fluid-filled cavity.

  5. An inner group of cells attached to trophoblast is called the inner cell mass.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The morula, a collection of around 30 cells (blastomere), is created at about 96 hours. Because these cells arise only through the cleavage of the zygote and all are found inside the pellucid zone, which cannot expand, no growth is seen. Every new cell is thus only half as large as the cell from which it derives.

Which of the following is homologus to penile urethra of male?

  1. Clitoris

  2. Labia majora

  3. Paraurethral glands

  4. Labia minora

  5. Bartholin’s gland


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is homologus to penile urethra.

The hormone activating the lactation in nursing mothers is

  1. follicle-stimulating hormone

  2. adrenocorticotrophic hormone

  3. growth hormone

  4. prolactin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is secreted by pituitary gland. It helps in lactation in nursing mothers.

Oocyte is liberated from ovary under the influence of LH completing

  1. meiosis and before liberating polar bodies

  2. meiosis I and before liberating polar bodies

  3. meiosis I and before the completion of meiosis II

  4. meiosis I and after the release of polar body


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oocyte is liberated from ovary under the influence of LH completing meiosis I and before the completion of meiosis II.

Which of the following protective coverings of testis consists of network of capillaries surrounded by delicate connective tissue?
