The combined oral contraceptive pill:
- contains the hormones LH and FSH
- inhibits the uterine cycle
- elevates the levels of circulatory estrogen and progesterone
- prevents fertilisation of a mature oocyte
- stimulates ovulation
- elevated progesterone inhibit GNRJ - decreases LH and FASH preventing development of follicles
All of the following are features characteristic of an early secondary follicle, EXCEPT:
- antral space is beginning to form
- zona pellucida is visible
- epithelial cells of the granulosa classification are numerous
- surrounding connective tissue cells, called the theca, are clearly visible
- the antral cavity is large and the oocyte is suspended on a ‘stalk’
- mature follicle
Spermatocytes are one stage that occurs during the development of sperm. Name the stages that occur immediately before and after spermatocytes.
- spermatogonia and spermatids
- Leydig cells and spermatogonia
- spermatozoa and Sertoli cells
- spermatozoa and spermatids
- spermatogonia and spermatozoa
1.

bladder
penis
seminal vesicle
prostatic urethra
vas deferens
prostatic urethra, converges with ejaculatory duct below prostate
The formation of follicular fluid marks the beginning of which follicular stage in the ovarian cycle?
late primary
early primary
tertiary or Graafian
primordial
secondary
secondary
Immediately following ovulation, the levels of which two hormones decrease the most?
GnRH and FSH
FSH and LH
Progesterone and estrogen
LH and progesterone
LH and estrogen
LH and estrogen
The contraceptive pill prevents pregnancy by:
- using copper to alter the uterine lining
- generating sperm-killing agents such as nonoxynol-9
- increasing the secretion of GnRH
- creating a physical barrier at the entrance to the fallopian tubes, thus preventing sperm from entering
- inhibiting the secretion of gonadotropins
5.
Sertoli cells are most directly responsible for:
the secretion of FSH
the production of testosterone
None of these options
the transport of progesterone
nourishing developing oocytes
none of these options - resposible for producing ABP, which binds androgen for transport around the body
With respect to primordial follicles, select the CORRECT statement:
- They lack a zona pellucida.
- They actively secrete estrogen.
- They are the same size as a tertiary / Graafian follicle.
- They are commonly found in the medullary region of the ovary.
- They are surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal epithelium.
- zona pellucida forms in primary follicle
Which contraceptive device acts by directly contacting the cervix?
IUD
Condom
Diaphragm
Tubal ligation
The pill
diaphragm - rubber dome that fits over cervix
During the reproduction laboratory a student examines a histological slide of the ovary. She focuses on one follicle containing an oocyte which is immediately surrounded by a thin blue line. The oocyte is also encircled by a small antral cavity. Which of the following is also true of this follicle?
- The corona radiata is attached to the thin blue line.
- The oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of flat follicular cells.
- The oocyte is suspended by a thin ‘stalk’ of granulosa cells.
- The next stage for this follicle will be to immediately develop into a corpus albicans.
- The follicle is found in the uterine cortex.
- blue line - zona pellucida - corona radiata attached to this
The glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle is called the
antrum
theca interna
zona pellucida
theca externa
corona radiata
zona pellucida - formed by glycoprotein secretions of oocyte during primary follicle phase
Which of the following statements is correct?
- The vital capacity of an asthmatic subject is always lower than that of a normal subject
- Total lung capacity is the sum of vital capacity plus residual volume
- Vital capacity is the sum of TV, FEV1.0 and IRV
- The vital capacity of a normal subject is approximately 800ml
- Vital capacity may be recorded using a peak flow meter
2.
Which of the following statements is true of intrapleural pressure in a normal subject?
- During inspiration, intrapleural pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure
- Intrapleural pressure is always equal to atmospheric pressure
- During quiet breathing, intrapleural pressure is sub-atmospheric
- Intrapleural pressure may be measured using a dry spirometer
- None of these
3.
Inspiratory reserve volume:
- May be measured using a dry spirometer
- Is approximately 200ml in a normal subject
- Is the sum of tidal volume and residual volume
- Is the sum of residual volume and FEV1.0
- Is the air that one can inspire in addition to the tidal volume
5.
Choose the correct option when comparing the pressure changes occurring in the obstructed and unobstructed airway of the lung model during quiet breathing.
- obstruction lowers the rate of airway equalisation with the atmosphere
- larger pressure changes occur during unobstructed breathing
- during obstructed exhalation the airway displayed a negative pressure
- the lung is more compliant during unobstructed breathing
- the airway pressure was different to the intrapleural pressure during obstructed breathing
- if breathing is obstructed, airflow is decreased becasue of increased airway resistance. takes longer for airway to equalise with atm as there is less airflow
In asthma, difficulty in exhaling is a symptom of problems occurring with:
bronchioles
intercostal muscles
elastic fibres
surfactant
lung compliance
bronchioles
Which of the following statements is CORRECT when comparing human ventilation to that of the lung model used during the laboratory?
- the intrapleural pressures are the same when at rest
- the contents of the intrapleural space are the same
- the elastic mechanisms of the lungs are different
- the volume of the intrapleural cavities is the same
- the structures used for maximal inspiration are represented in both
3.
During “quiet breathing” on a lung model with a simulated pneumothorax:
- obstructing the airway will reduce the effects of the pneumothorax
- the lung compliance will increase
- the pressure inside the lung will fluctuate
- a larger magnitude of change will be shown on the intrapleural manometer when compared to a normal lung model
- the volume of the intrapleural space changes.
e.
William (a biological male) and Kate (a biological female) are the same height. During the ventilation laboratory Kate recorded a higher peak flow reading than William. Choose the option that best explains this result.
- Kate is older than William.
- William has weaker external intercostal muscles than Kate.
- Kate has a larger vital capacity than William.
- Kate is an asthmatic.
- William has a narrower trachea than Kate.
e. decrease radius of airway - increase resistance - lower peak flow
A student is using the lung model during the ventilation laboratory. A series of events causes the liquid in the arm of the intrapleural manometer that is open to the atmosphere to go down. Choose the correct statement to
explain this observation.
- the lung model has a simulated pneumothorax
- there is increased airway resistance during expiration
- the intrapleural pressure is less than atmospheric pressure
- the airway pressure is greater the atmospheric pressure
- the lung model is about to inspire
3.
if liquid arm goes down - intrapleural pressure has decreased
Difficulty in exhaling at the end of inspiration is a symptom of:
- collapsed bronchioles typical of an asthma attack
- weak external intercostal muscles
- a pneumothorax
- loss of surfactant, increasing water surface tension inside the lungs
- decreased lung compliance
- true - increased resistance, collapsed, no air gets through, gas trapped
- inspiration
- collapsed lung
- this would increase recoil force leading to easier exhalation
- increased lung compliance = decreased elasticity - expiration harder bc elasticrecoil
The most accurate method of measuring your fastest expiratory flow rate is to use a:
- vitalograph or dry spirometer
- Collins or wet spirometer
- peak flow meter
- nomogram using your age and height
- lung model
