Question

A) Contrast the anatomical relationship between the ovary (producing ova) and oviduct (conducting ova) vs. testis (producing sperm) and seminiferous tubules (conducting sperm)  B) Explain two medical complications that arise in females as a result of this “style” of relationship between ovary and oviduct.

Answer 1

A

The relationship between ovary and oviduct Vs testis and seminiferous tubules

It is that both the ovary and testis are the female and male organs that produce gamates. That is male and female gamates . The oviduct and the seminiferous tubules are the tract that conduct this gamates and enable it to reach the destination as required.

The oviduct is large when compared to seminiferous tubules

Both conducte gamete

B)

Medical complications as a result of style of relationship between the ovary and oviduct

Infertility can occur as a result of inability of ovum to reach the oviduct

Polycystic ovarian disease will cause cyst formation that will result in inability to conduct the ovary
