Animal Tissue and Anatomy Questions
-
Wind pipe
-
Tongue
-
Larynx
-
Pharynx
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The larynx (voice box) contains the vocal cords and is the primary organ that produces sound in humans. The windpipe (trachea) conducts air, the tongue helps shape speech but doesn't produce sound, and the pharynx is a passage for both air and food.

Pharynx
-
Windpipe
-
Lungs
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The vocal cords (also called vocal folds) are the primary vibrating structures that produce sound in humans. When air passes through the larynx, the vocal cords vibrate, creating sound waves. The pharynx and windpipe help transmit sound, while lungs provide air, but only the vocal cords actually vibrate to generate sound.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The outer ear (pinna) has a funnel-like shape that helps collect sound waves from the environment and direct them into the ear canal toward the eardrum.

Larynx
-
Pharynx
-
Vocal cords
-
Ear drum
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) is the thin, stretched membrane at the end of the ear canal that vibrates when sound waves reach it, converting sound energy into mechanical vibrations.
-
External ear
-
Inner ear
-
Brain
-
Pharynx
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Ear drum sends vibration to the inner ear.
-
Muscle cell
-
Nerve cell
-
Goblet cell
-
Diatom
-
Fibroblast
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct option.
-
Foreskin
-
Head
-
Acrosome
-
Corona
-
Cumulus
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The acrosome is the part of the sperm containing proteolytic enzymes to digest the zona pellucida. It is exposed by the process of capacitation. Then, under the influence of substances released by corona radiata cells, it releases its proteolytic enzymes and penetrates the oocyte.
-
Fallopian tubes
-
Mons pubis
-
Clitoris
-
Labia majora
-
Labia minora
C
Correct answer
Explanation
On the superior end of the labia minora is a small mass of erectile tissue known as the clitoris that contains many nerve endings for sensing sexual pleasure.
-
Tunica vaginalis
-
Tunica albuginea
-
Tunica vasculosa
-
Symphysis pubis
-
Membranous portion
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The tunica vaginalis is the serous covering of the testis. It is a pouch of serous membrane, derived from the processus vaginalis of the peritoneum, which in the fetus preceded the descent of the testis from the abdomen into the scrotum.
-
Corpus cavernosum
-
Corpus spongiosum
-
Radix
-
Raphe
-
Epithelium
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The raphe is the visible ridge between the lateral halves of the penis, found on the ventral or underside of the penis, running from the meatus (opening of the urethra) across the scrotum to the perineum (area between scrotum and anus).
-
tunica albuginea
-
tunica vasculosa
-
mediastinum testis
-
appendix testis
D
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a vestigial remnant of the Mullerian duct located on the upper pole of the testis.
-
efferent ducts
-
ejaculatory ducts
-
prostatic ducts
-
excretory duct of seminal gland
A
Correct answer
Explanation
These conjoin the rete testis with the initial section of the epididymis in the male reproductive system.
-
Tubuli seminiferi recti
-
Seminiferous tubules
-
Rete testis
-
Epididymis
C
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the complicated network of soft tubules located in the hilum of the testicle, which carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the vasa efferentia.
-
prostatic urethra
-
membranous urethra
-
spongy urethra
-
penile urethra
C
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the longest portion of the human male urethra and is confined in the corpus spongiosum.
-
The stereocilia
-
Paradidymis
-
Spermatic cord
-
Pampiniform plexus
B
Correct answer
Explanation
These are convoluted tubules located in front of the lower part of the spermatic cord. These tubes are lined with columnar ciliated epithelium, and are vestigial in human male reproductive system.
