The endometrium is the innermost lining of the uterus where the embryo implants and stays for the rest of its development. 2
Answer Key Testname: 27-REPRO.TST 81) Once the embryo has implanted, it sends out its own hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, which stimulates the corpus luteum to maintain and even increase its hormone production. 82) Since it releases its contents prior to ejaculation, its function is probably to neutralize the acids in the vagina. 83) The male testes descend into the scrotal sac so that a fairly constant intrascrotal temperature is maintained. Failure of the testes to descend results in sterility, because production of viable spermatozoa requires a temperature several degrees lower than normal body temperature. 84) Fimbriae, which drape over the ovary, become very active close to the time of ovulation and undulate to create currents in the peritoneal fluid. These currents usually carry the oocyte to the uterine tube, where it begins its journey toward the uterus. 85) Genetic sex is determined at the instant the genes of a sperm combine with those of an ovum. The determining factor is the sex chromosomes each gamete contains. ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper. 86) There is a risk of cervical cancer with an increase in the number of sexual partners and with early incidence of first intercourse. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection also appears to increase the risk of cervical cancer. A thorough yearly gynecological examination, including a Pap test should be encouraged. The women should be taught to report to their physician any abnormal bleeding or drainage. 3
