Sample questions from this chapter
A man's testes remain in the abdominal cavity rather than descending into the scrotum. Which process is most directly at risk?
- Spermatogenesis ✓
- Androgen transport
- Urine formation
- Seminal fructose production
Answer: A. The scrotum keeps testes cooler than the abdomen, a requirement for normal sperm production. Hormone production may persist better than the temperature-sensitive seminiferous epithelium.
Why not B: Leydig cells can secrete androgens, but elevated temperature primarily compromises germ-cell development.
Why not C: Kidneys rather than testes form urine and are normally abdominal.
Why not D: Seminal vesicles lie in the pelvis and contribute fructose independently of scrotal location.
A pituitary lesion abolishes LH but preserves FSH in a pubertal male. Which chain is disrupted most directly?
- Sertoli stimulation → acrosome formation
- GnRH production → FSH release
- Leydig stimulation → androgen secretion → support of spermatogenesis ✓
- Epididymal secretion → sperm transport
Answer: C. LH stimulates interstitial Leydig cells to produce androgens, which support spermatogenesis. FSH can still act on Sertoli cells, but one hormonal arm is missing.
Why not A: FSH rather than LH acts directly on Sertoli cells.
Why not B: GnRH comes from hypothalamus and is upstream of pituitary damage.
Why not D: Accessory-duct secretion is androgen-supported but is not the direct LH target step.
A woman on day 21 has high progesterone. Implantation then occurs and trophoblast begins hormonal signalling. Which endocrine transition best sustains the uterus?
- hCG supports luteal progesterone while placenta progressively assumes pregnancy endocrine functions ✓
- LH surge repeats daily to re-ovulate the implanted embryo
- FSH destroys corpus luteum and initiates menstruation
- Prolactin replaces progesterone as the direct endometrial-maintenance hormone
Answer: A. The luteal endometrium is already progesterone-supported; embryonic hCG preserves that support until placenta supplies abundant progestogens and estrogens. Pregnancy extends rather than restarts the luteal programme.
Why not B: Ovulation has passed, and pregnancy suppresses further menstrual cycling.
Why not C: Implantation prevents the luteal collapse and menstruation expected in a non-pregnant cycle.
Why not D: Prolactin supports lactation; progesterone and placental signals maintain pregnancy endometrium.
