Which among the following part of male reproductive system is not considered intratesticular genital duct ?

  1. Tubuli recti

  2. Rete testis

  3. Ductuli efferentes

  4. Epididymis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The intratesticular genital duct includes the parts like Tubuli recti, Rete testes and Ductili efferentes. 

Epididymis is a long tube connects the testicles to the vas deferens. It is formed from the ductili efferentes, but it is not a part of the intratesticular genital duct.

What are the functions performed by the testis in human beings?

  1. Production of sperms

  2. Production of testosterone hormone

  3. Production of ovum

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The testes are a pair of ovoid glandular organs that are central to the function of the male reproductive system. The testes are responsible for the production of sperm cells and the male sex hormone, testosterone. The main male sex organs are the penis and the testicles, which produce semen and sperm.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Testes of man occur 

  1. Inside body

  2. Upper side of body

  3. On either side of dorsal aorta

  4. In scrotal sacs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Testes are the glandular glands that secrete hormone as well as produces male gametes. 
  • It is located in the scrotal sac, outside the body, because the process of spermatogenesis (sperm or male gamete production) requires a lower temperature i.e., 2-3${^0}$C lower than the normal body temperature. 

The ................ is primary reproductive organ in male.

  1. Testis

  2. Ovary

  3. Breast

  4. Scrotum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The testes are a pair of ovoid glandular organs that are primary to the function of the male reproductive system. Its function is to produce sperm cells and the male sex hormone, testosterone.
So, the correct answer is option A.

If the migration of testes does not take place in man, from abdominal cavity to scrotal sac, then

  1. Man will die.

  2. The development of male secondary sex character will not take place.

  3. The development of male reproductive system will not take place.

  4. The formation of sperms will not take place.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In mammals, the process of spermatogenesis or the formation of sperm requires a lower temperature than the normal body temperature to produce viable sperms. Hence, the sperms are stored outside the body in a sac-like structure called scrotum.
So, if the testes do not move from abdominal cavity to the scrotal sac, the sperms will not be formed.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Testes produce male sex hormone

  1. Estrogen

  2. Testosterone

  3. Follicle stimulating hormone

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Testosterone is the hormone which is produced by testis of the human male. It is responsible for secondary sexual characters in male which includes deeper voice and hair on the chest, in addition to contributing to a healthy libido, building muscle mass, and maintaining energy levels.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

How many sperms take part in fusion with female gamete?

  1. Only one

  2. Two

  3. Millions in number

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The semen, secreted by male contains 100-200 millions of sperms. The healthy sperms in the semen then go to the cervix, then pass through the uterus and then ultimately arrive at the ampulla part of the fallopian tube where they come to meet the ovum. Although so many sperms encircle the ovum, only one sperm is allowed to penetrate the ovum.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Sperms in male are produced in

  1. Testes

  2. Urethra

  3. Epididymis

  4. Penis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The testes are the male gonads in animals. The primary function of the testes is to produce sperms and to produce the testosterone hormone.
So, the correct answer is option A.

In mammals, the testes lie in the scrotal sacs due to the

  1. Presence of urinary bladder

  2. Presence of rectum

  3. Long vas-deferens

  4. Requirement of low temperature for sperm formation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The process of spermatogenesis or the formation of sperms require a lower temperature (1-6 degree C lower) than the normal body temperature to produce viable sperms. Hence, the sperms are stored outside in a sac-like structure called scrotum.
So, the correct answer is option D.

Testes produce 

  1. Ovum

  2. Estrogen

  3. Sperm

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • The testes are the male gonad in the animals, produces sperm and the testosterone hormone and so is the primary male reproductive organ. 
  • Ovum is produced by the female reproductive organ, ovary, which is also responsible for the production of estrogen.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
