Correct answer: 8.5 hours- A. Death
- B. Shedding of uterine wall
- C. Menopause
- D. Formation of Corpus Luteum
Explanation: The secretory phase, also known as the post-ovulatory phase, is the third phase of the menstrual cycle.
Correct answer: Formation of Corpus Luteum- A. 10-15 minutes
- B. 20-30 minutes
- C. 60 minutes
- D. 10-45 minutes
Explanation: Afterbirth is the delivery of the placenta which follows the delivery of the baby. It occurs 10 to45 minutes after the baby is born.
Correct answer: 10-45 minutes- A. Seminiferous tubules
- B. Urinogenital duct
- C. Seminal Vesicles
- D. Vasa efferentia
Explanation: Vasa efferentia is the correct answer. The vasa efferentia are a series of ducts that connect the rete testis (a network of tubules within…
Correct answer: Vasa efferentia- A. Progesterone
- B. Lactin
- C. Oestrogen
- D. Oxytocin
Explanation: Oestrogen (Estrogen) is the correct answer. FSH stimulates the ovary to produce estrogen (also spelled as oestrogen).

Correct answer: Ovulation- A. Metaphase
- B. Prophase
- C. Anaphase
- D. Telophase
Explanation: Until fertilization, the secondary oocyte stops at the metaphase. After fertilization, it completes meiosis and forms a mature oocyte and…

- B. Secondary spermatocyte
- C. Spermatogonia
- D. Spermatid
Explanation: Spermatids are haploid cells that result from the second meiotic division of secondary spermatocytes.
Correct answer: Spermatid- A. Interstitial Cells

- B. Decrease in the level of progesterone
- C. Increase in the level of FSH
- D. Increase in the level of estrogen
