Choose the correct option to label the region .

Complete the analogy:
FSH : Sertoli cells :: LH : ____.

Which of the following pathway is correct for the transport of spermatozoa?

In male, for normal fertility, sperms must have normal shape and size and sperms must show vigorous motility.

How many secondary spermatocytes are required to form spermatozoa?

If a lady wants to postpone her regular menstruation cycle for some reasons, which is administered?

What is correct sequence of spermatogenesis?

Given below are four statements pertaining to fertilization in human beings. Identify the correct statement.
I. Fertilisation can occur if the ovum and the sperms are transported simultaneously to the ampullary region of the Fallopian tube.
II. The secretion of the acrosomes helps the sperm enter the cytoplasm of the ovum.
III. The completion of the meiotic division of the secondary oocyte is induced by the entry of sperms into it.
IV. Hyaluronidase secreted by the acrosomes ensures that only one sperm can fertilise the ovum.

Choose the correct option:
Column I | Column II |
(A) Head | (i) Enzymes |
(B) Middle piece | (ii) Sperm motility |
(C) Acrosome | (iii) Energy |
(D)Tail | (iv) Genetic material |

Reason (R): Stoppage of FSH secretion.

In human females, when does oogenesis begin?


Which of the following is a non-cellular layer in the Graafian follicle?
