Front 1

The Fallopian tubes run laterally along the superior border of the broad ligament and open into the "pectoral" cavity.

Back 1

False, pelvic

Front 2

The ovaries produce egg cells as well as female sex hormones known as estrogen and "androgen."

Back 2

False, progesterone

Front 3

Egg cells mature within the "corpus luteum" and are released in the process of ovulation.

Back 3

False, follicle

Front 4

In the female, ovulation occurs once every "14" days.

Back 4

False, 28

Front 5

The fimbriae, ampulla, and isthmus are structures found in the "Fallopian tubes."

Back 5

True

Front 6

Hairlike appendages called "flagella" beat and help move egg cells through the Fallopian tubes.

Back 6

False, cilia

Front 7

Egg cells are fertilized by sperm cells in the "uterus."

Back 7

False, Fallopian tube

Front 8

The uterus, also called the "womb," is the place where the embryo and fetus are nourished.

Back 8

True

Front 9

The neck of the uterus, where the uterine cavity opens into the vagina, is known as the "fundus."

Back 9

False, cervix

Front 10

If fertilization of the egg cell does not occur, the stratum functionalis of the "myometrium:" of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation.

Back 10

False, endometrium

Front 11

In order for sperm cells to reach the egg cells in the Fallopian tubes, they must swim through the "uterus."

Back 11

True

Front 12

The muscular tube where sperm cells are deposited is the birth canal-also known as the "cervix."

Back 12

False, vagina

Front 13

Before sexual intercourse begins, the entrance to the vagina is usually partially blocked by a fold of epithelium known as the "infundibulum"

Back 13

False, hymen

Front 14

The region of the vulva where the vagina opens is known as the "isthmus."

Back 14

False, vestibule

Front 15

The labia minora and the "labia majora" are both parts of the female external genitalia.

Back 15

True

Front 16

The newborn gains nourishment from the milk secreted by the mother's "pituitary" glands.

Back 16

False, mammary

Front 17

The skin area surrounding each nipple of the breast having a darker coloration is called the "areola."

Back 17

True

Front 18

The first few days of the menstrual cycle are those in which the stratum functionalis of the endometrium detaches from the wall of the "cervix."

Back 18

False, uterus

Front 19

During the last two weeks of the menstrual cycle, the corpus luteum produces large amounts of the hormone estrogen and "testosterone."

Back 19

False, progesterone

Front 20

The primitive egg cells that will form mature egg cells are known as "oogonia."

Back 20

True

Front 21

Development of the follicle within the ovary is stimulated by "lactogenic" hormones

Back 21

False, follicle stimulating

Front 22

The process in which a primary oocyte undergoes a reduction in its chromosome numbers to form a mature egg cell is called "mitosis."

Back 22

False, meiosis

Front 23

The mature egg cell is released into the pelvic cavity and swept into the "vagina" for transport to the uterus.

Back 23

False, Fallopian tube

Front 24

Implantation occurs when the "fetus" implants itself in the wall of the uterus.

Back 24

False, blastocyst

Front 25

The presence of hCG in the bloodstream of the mother is a reliable indication that "menstruation" has taken place.

Back 25

False, fertilization
