- A.
  
  Prostate Gland
- B.
  
  Ovaries
- C.
  
  Pituitary Gland
- D.
  
  Endometrium
Correct Answer
C. Pituitary Gland

Explanation
FSH stands for follicle-stimulating hormone, which is a hormone involved in the reproductive system. In women, FSH is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles, which contain the eggs. The correct answer, the pituitary gland, is a small gland located at the base of the brain that controls the release of hormones, including FSH. It secretes FSH into the bloodstream, which then travels to the ovaries and initiates the process of egg maturation and release.

In vitro fertilization is most commonly controversial because of the surrogates' potential for passing on _____.
- A.
  
  Infertility
- B.
  
  AIDS
- C.
  
  Sickle Cell Anemia
Correct Answer
A. Infertility

Explanation
In vitro fertilization is most commonly controversial because of the surrogates' potential for passing on infertility. This is because surrogates may carry genetic or medical conditions that can affect their ability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. Therefore, there is a concern that by using a surrogate, the intended parents may also inherit or pass on the infertility issue. This can lead to ethical debates and discussions surrounding the use of surrogacy in fertility treatments.

IVF is scrutinized because it is considered to be unnatural versus the act of conception through love.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
IVF is scrutinized because it is considered to be unnatural versus the act of conception through love. This means that some people believe that IVF, which involves fertilizing an egg outside of the body and then implanting it in the uterus, goes against the natural process of conception that occurs through sexual intercourse. These individuals may argue that love and the natural act of conceiving a child should be the preferred method, rather than relying on medical intervention.

Some see infertility as God's will and thus believe that IVF is wrong.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Some individuals believe that infertility is a part of God's plan and therefore view IVF as morally wrong. This perspective is based on the belief that interfering with the natural process of conception goes against God's will. Consequently, these individuals may choose not to pursue IVF treatments and instead accept their infertility as a part of their faith.

- A.
  
  Vagina
- B.
  
  Urethra
- C.
  
  Volvo
- D.
  
  Ovary
- E.
  
  Oviduct
Correct Answer(s)
A. Vagina
B. Urethra
D. Ovary
E. Oviduct

Explanation
The parts of the female genitalia mentioned in the answer are all correct. The vagina is a muscular canal that connects the uterus to the external opening of the genitalia. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the external opening, located above the vaginal opening. The ovary is an organ that produces eggs and hormones, while the oviduct is a tube that transports eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. The term "Volvo" seems to be a typo or an error, as it does not correspond to any part of the female genitalia.
