Question

Identify all correct responses describing the male and female reproductive systems: Select one or more: a. the zygote (fertilized egg) divides as it moves down from the upper fallopian tube to the uterus, where it will implant in a nutritive layer indended to supply blood to the developing embryo; this tissue is the endometrium b. the epididymis which surrounds the testes is where sperm cells mature by building up their cytoskeleton tails in preparation for the long journey through the female reproductive tract c. multiple sperm cells can fuse with a single ovum during fertilization,leading to polyspermy and the production of identical twins d. estrogen and progesterone hormones are produced in the ovaries and testosterone is produced in the testes e. following a developing womans first menstruation (12-14 years of age), an average 28 day cycling of estrogen and progesterone triggers release of the ovum from the ovaries during ovulation, growth and breakdown of the endometrium layer in the uterus during menstruation f. in a female vasectomy, the fallopian tubes are cut and sealed to prevent sperm from reaching the upper fallopian tube where the ovum is released during ovulation; this operation can cause scarring of the fallopian tube and cause complications with pregnancy (such as ectopic pregnancies, reproductive tract infections and reduced female fertility) if the operation is reversed later in life g. menstrual flow is the dead epithelial cells removed from the endometrium in response to changes in estrogen and progesterone h. fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes; this process occurs in the ovaries i. testosterone released by the testes triggers production of sperm cells in the developing male beginning at puberty (12-14 years of age) j. both women and men produce gametes (sex cells) throughout their entire lives k. a male vasectomy involves tying (ligating) the vas deferones so that sperm cannot fuse with seminal fluid; this operation is relatively painless and is easily reversable with few if any complications associated with male fertility

0:00 Hello.

00:02 So the question given here is asking for the correct responses that is describing the male and female reproductive system.

00:10 Here we can see few of the statements are given in the options and we have to find which one is correct with respect to the male and female reproductive system.

00:20 Now let's start with the statement a here.

00:22 It's saying that the zygote, here the zygote, this is also called as fertilized egg.

00:27 This divides as it moves down from the upper fallopian tube to the uterus.

00:35 So yes, we can see here that statement given is correct.

00:39 So let's mark it.

00:41 Here it is the correct statement and we will move to the next statement.

00:45 So the next statement is talking about the epididymis.

00:49 So yes, this surrounds the testes and this is where the sperm cell matures by building up cytoscarus.

00:57 Tells in preparation for the long journey through the female reproductive rate.

01:07 So yes, this is also true or we can say this is also the correct statement.

01:12 So here option b or the statement b is correct.

01:16 Moving to the statement c here, it's saying that multiple sperm cells can fuse to a single o -worm during fertilization.

01:26 And this is leading to polyspermy and the production of identical twins.

01:33 So what we know about the polyspermy, this does not produce identical twins.

01:38 So because of this, this statement is incorrect.

01:42 Here we can say statement c here, this is incorrect.

01:48 Let's move to the next statement that is statement d.

01:51 Here it's talking about the two type of hormones that are estrogen and protein.

01:56 So these hormones are produced in the ovaries.

02:01 Yes.

02:02 And testosterone.

02:04 Yes.

02:05 And this is a testosterone.

02:06 This is produced in testis.

02:08 So yes.

02:09 Estrogen and progesterone.

02:11 These are produced in ovaries.

02:12 And when we talk about the hormone, that is testosterone.

02:15 So this is producing the testis.

02:17 So here option d is also correct.

02:20 So let's mark this option d.

02:23 This is the correct one.

02:26 Let's move to the next.

02:27 Option that is option it's talking about following a developing woman's first menstruation and that is saying that is at the age of 12 to 14 years of age and average of 28 days cycling right of estrogen and progestron triggers release of the ovum right release of the ovum and this is during the ovulation so what they are saying that the growth and the breakdown of the endometrial layer in the uterus during menstruation.

03:02 So what we know here statement e is also explaining the correct thing.

03:06 So that's the reason that statement e here is also the correct answer.

03:11 Let's move to the statement f...
