9. Regarding pregnancy, which event or process caused the 2° oocyte to mature into an ovum?

1. Penetration                                           c. Implantation
2. Cleavage                                              d. Fertilization

10. Filtrate has emptied into the glomerular capsule. Where will it go next?

1. PCT/proximal convoluted tubule c. DCT/distal convoluted tubule
2. Renal Calyces                                       d. CD/Collecting ducts

Answer 1

Answer 1:) Option c

The Graafian follicle is formed after the first meiotic division in secondary follicles but before ovulation. This oocyte is now diploid. It contains a large follicular antrum constituting the maximum part of this follicle. Therefore, option c is the right answer.

Answer 2:) Option e

The endometrial lining is rebuilt by estrogen.

Answer 3:) Option a

Urine formation starts in glomerular filtration and it is a nonselective process.

Answer 4:) Option c

Hypothalamus is known to produce human growth hormone (HGH).
