Questions: 16 · 10 minutes
1. After ovulation, fertilization most often occurs in which location?
The uterine cavity
The ampulla of a uterine tube
The cervical canal
The ovarian follicle
2. Which structure is the narrow lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina?
Uterine fundus
Ovarian ligament
Uterine tube
Cervix
3. A person has the uterus removed while the ovaries remain functional. Which outcome is most accurate?
Menstruation and the ability to carry a pregnancy end, but ovarian hormone production may continue
Menstruation continues, but ovulation stops
Ovulation and hormone production must stop immediately
Fertilization and implantation can continue normally in the vagina
4. Menstrual bleeding begins when hormone levels fall and which tissue is shed?
The muscular wall of the vagina
The outer layer of the ovary
The functional layer of the endometrium
The lining of the uterine tubes
5. During routine cervical screening, cells are collected primarily from which structure?
Cervix
Uterine tube
Uterine fundus
Ovary
6. After ovulation, rising progesterone produces which normal change in the uterus?
The endometrium becomes more secretory and receptive to implantation
The myometrium is shed as menstrual flow
The uterine tubes begin producing oocytes
The cervix becomes an ovary
7. After an ovarian follicle releases an oocyte, it becomes the corpus luteum. Which hormone does this structure mainly release to support the uterine lining?
Follicle-stimulating hormone
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Progesterone
Oxytocin
8. Around ovulation, cervical mucus commonly becomes clearer and more stretchable. How can this change support conception?
It causes an embryo to implant immediately
It helps sperm survive and move through the cervix
It prevents an oocyte from entering the uterine tube
It causes the endometrium to be shed
9. A sharp mid-cycle rise in which hormone directly triggers ovulation?
Prolactin
Luteinizing hormone
Oxytocin
Human chorionic gonadotropin
10. An embryo entering the uterus normally implants into which tissue?
The perimetrium
The myometrium
The ovarian cortex
The endometrium
11. Which term collectively describes the external genital structures, including the labia and clitoris?
Vagina
Cervix
Vulva
Endometrium
12. Which organ releases an oocyte during ovulation and produces hormones including estrogen and progesterone?
Ovary
Uterus
Cervix
Vagina
13. If both uterine tubes are completely blocked, which reproductive step is most directly disrupted?
Production of hormones by the ovaries
The usual meeting of sperm and oocyte
Shedding of the endometrium
Formation of the vaginal opening
14. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation happens outside the uterine cavity. What is its most common location?
The cervix
The vagina
A uterine tube
The vulva
15. Which sequence correctly traces the usual movement of an oocyte after ovulation?
Uterine tube → ovary → uterus
Ovary → uterus → uterine tube
Uterus → ovary → uterine tube
Ovary → uterine tube → uterus
16. Following ovulation, what is the main role of the fimbriae at the end of a uterine tube?
They stimulate the endometrium to thicken
They trigger contractions of the uterus
They produce cervical mucus
They help guide the released oocyte into the tube
