Identify True/False statements. Correct each false statement to make it true.
Androgens are produced by Sertoli cells. (True/False)
False. Androgens are produced by Leydig cells (interstitial cells), not Sertoli cells.
Spermatozoa get nutrition from Sertoli cells. (True/False)
True. Sertoli cells provide nutrition to developing spermatozoa.
Leydig cells are found in ovary. (True/False)
False. Leydig cells are found in the testes (seminal tubules region), not in the ovary.
Leydig cells synthesise androgens. (True/False)
True. Leydig cells synthesize androgens (male hormones like testosterone).
Oogenesis takes place in corpus luteum. (True/False)
False. Oogenesis takes place in the ovary (within ovarian follicles), not in the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone.
Menstrual cycle ceases during pregnancy. (True/False)
True. The menstrual cycle ceases during pregnancy due to hormonal regulation.
Presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience. (True/False)
True. The presence or absence of the hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience.
Explanation
This question tests understanding of male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology. Key concepts include: (1) Leydig cells in testes produce androgens, (2) Sertoli cells (nurse cells) nourish developing sperm, (3) Oogenesis occurs in ovarian follicles, not corpus luteum, (4) Corpus luteum is an endocrine structure that secretes progesterone, (5) The hymen's presence/absence varies naturally and is not a definitive indicator of sexual history.
