Reproductive System: Unit Review and
Quiz
|
Unit Review
Here is what we have learned from this unit:
- The four functions of the reproductive system are:
- To produce egg and sperm cells
- To transport and sustain these cells
- To nurture the developing fetus
- To produce hormones
- The primary reproductive organs are the gonads, which
produce the gametes and hormones. The secondary, or accessory,
structures transport and sustain the gametes and nurture
the developing offspring.
- The male reproductive system consists of the testes, duct
system, accessory glands, and penis.
- The male gonads are the testes. Their location within
the scrotum is necessary for the production of viable sperm.
- The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, uterine
tubes, uterus, vagina, accessory glands, and external genital
organs.
- The female gonads are the ovaries, which are located on
each side of the uterus in the pelvic cavity.
- Estrogen and progesterone stimulate the development of
glandular tissue and ducts in the breast. Prolactin stimulates
the production of milk, and oxytocin causes the ejection
of milk.
Quiz
To test how much you have learned from this unit, two types
of quizzes have been created. The first type is a multiple-choice
quiz. The quiz questions are grouped into several sets of
two questions each to reduce the size of the content on each
page. When you finish the questions in one set, click the
Next button (a right-pointing arrow icon located in the Title
Bar) to proceed to the next page.
The second type is a drag-and-drop quiz, in which, by using
the mouse pointer, you drag a textual or graphic element to
a target area to show your knowledge of the material covered
in the unit. Note that the object you are dragging will snap
back to its original position until it is placed in the correct
target area. Try to drag the object as close to the center
of the target area as possible so that the object will snap
to the target area when you chose a correct answer.
