What is the testis?
Correct Answer
D. Both of the above
Explanation
The testes, also known as testicles, are organs in the male reproductive system that perform two important functions:
Producer of millions of sperm: The testes contain tiny structures called seminiferous tubules where sperm production (spermatogenesis) occurs. Millions of sperm are produced continuously throughout a man's life, starting at puberty.
Producer of male sex hormones: The testes also contain specialized cells called Leydig cells that produce testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone plays a crucial role in male development, including puberty, muscle growth, bone density, sex drive, and sperm production.
Therefore, the testes are essential for both sperm production and the production of male sex hormones.

The menstrual cycle in when:
Correct Answer
A. A monthly period for girls when they release eggs from their ovaries into the fallopian tube.
Explanation
The correct answer is "A monthly period for girls when they release eggs from their ovaries into the fallopian tube." This answer accurately describes the menstrual cycle in females. During the menstrual cycle, the ovaries release an egg in a process called ovulation. If the egg is fertilized by sperm, it may implant in the uterus and result in pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus is shed, resulting in menstrual bleeding. This cycle typically occurs once a month and is regulated by hormones.

C. Estrogen & Progesterone

Estrogen and progesterone are the female sex hormones. Estrogen is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining pregnancy. These hormones are produced primarily in the ovaries, although small amounts are also produced in the adrenal glands.
