Year 8 Reproductive System - Mr. Hung 2014 - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    A fluid that contains millions of sperm.

    • Amniotic

    • Urine

    • Semen

    • Blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Semen
    Explanation
    Semen is the correct answer because it is a fluid that contains millions of sperm. It is the reproductive fluid produced by males and is ejaculated during sexual intercourse. Semen provides a medium for sperm to travel through the female reproductive system and fertilize an egg.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The sac that holds the testes.

    • Scrotum

    • Placenta

    • Vas deferens

    • Bladder

    Correct Answer
    A. Scrotum
    Explanation
    The scrotum is the correct answer because it is the sac that holds the testes. It is a pouch of skin and muscle that hangs outside the body, housing the testicles and helping to regulate their temperature. The scrotum contracts or relaxes to adjust the distance of the testes from the body, ensuring optimal conditions for sperm production.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Tiny male cell that unites with the female ovum to form a fertilised egg or zygote.

    • Sperm

    • Testes

    • Scrotum

    • Egg

    Correct Answer
    A. Sperm
    Explanation
    The correct answer is sperm. Sperm is a tiny male cell that is capable of fertilizing the female ovum or egg, leading to the formation of a fertilized egg or zygote. Sperm cells are produced in the testes and stored in the scrotum until they are ejaculated during sexual intercourse.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A chemical or hormone produced by the testes that causes bodily changes during male puberty.

    • Estrogen

    • Progesterone

    • Amniotic

    • Testosterone

    Correct Answer
    A. Testosterone
    Explanation
    Testosterone is the correct answer because it is a chemical or hormone produced by the testes that leads to the development of male characteristics during puberty. Testosterone is responsible for the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, muscle development, and the production of sperm. It plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A process in which sperm laden semen leaves the male body. 

    • Ovulation

    • Gestation

    • Ejaculation

    • Fertilisation

    Correct Answer
    A. Ejaculation
    Explanation
    Ejaculation is the process in which sperm-laden semen is released from the male body. This typically occurs during sexual stimulation and orgasm. The sperm in the semen can potentially fertilize an egg during sexual intercourse, leading to pregnancy. Ovulation refers to the release of an egg from the ovary in females, while gestation refers to the period of pregnancy. Fertilization is the fusion of sperm and egg to form a zygote. However, in this context, the most appropriate answer is ejaculation as it specifically describes the process of semen leaving the male body.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A gland that makes some of the parts of semen.

    • Pancreas

    • Sweat

    • Prostate

    • Thyroid

    Correct Answer
    A. Prostate
    Explanation
    The prostate gland is responsible for producing some of the components of semen. It is a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in males. The prostate gland produces a fluid that helps nourish and transport sperm during ejaculation. This fluid, along with sperm from the testicles and secretions from other glands, makes up semen. The pancreas is not involved in semen production but plays a role in digestion and hormone regulation. Sweat glands produce sweat to regulate body temperature, and the thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    These are responsible for carrying sperm filled semen from the male to the female's vagina.

    • Penis

    • Ureter

    • Testicles

    • Vas deferens

    Correct Answer
    A. Penis
    Explanation
    The penis is the correct answer because it is the male reproductive organ responsible for delivering sperm-filled semen from the male to the female's vagina during sexual intercourse. The penis contains the urethra, which serves as a passage for both urine and semen. It becomes erect during sexual arousal, allowing for penetration and ejaculation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A muscular tube that transports sperm-filled semen.

    • Vagina

    • Fallopian tube

    • Vas deferens

    Correct Answer
    A. Vas deferens
    Explanation
    The vas deferens is a muscular tube that transports sperm-filled semen. It is responsible for carrying sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation. The vas deferens plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system by allowing the sperm to be transported and released during sexual activity.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A set of coiled tubes that connect to the vas deferens.

    • Fallopian tubes

    • Epididymis

    • Urethra

    • Sperm duct

    Correct Answer
    A. Epididymis
    Explanation
    The epididymis is a set of coiled tubes that connect to the vas deferens. It is located on the back of each testicle and serves as a storage and maturation site for sperm. Sperm produced in the testes travel through the epididymis where they gain the ability to swim and fertilize an egg. From the epididymis, sperm can then pass into the vas deferens and eventually be released during ejaculation.
