Answers • 1. Menstruation is the most important event in a woman’s menstrual (reproductive) cycle.
FALSE The purpose of the menstrual cycle is to release an ovum (egg) from one of the ovaries; therefore, ovulation is the most important event of the menstrual cycle.
False The length of the menstrual cycle of most women is irregular. Menstrual cycles from 21-35 days in length are considered to be within normal limits.
3. A woman is born with all the ova|(eggs) she will ever have.
True A baby girl’s ovaries have about 1-2 million egg when she is born. That is all she will ever have; she will not develop any more eggs.
True The type of mucus which is secreted from the cervix during the fertile phase of a woman's menstrual cycle guides the sperm into the cervix and also nourishes and prolongs the life of sperm cells.
False • Mating produces ovulation in some animals (rabbits for example) but intercourse does not cause ovulation in women.
6. Pregnancy can occur without the couple having full genital intercourse
True Pregnancy can occur from contact of male and female genital organs without “going all the way” during the fertile phase of a woman’s cycle. The first few drops of fluid from the erect penis has the highest concentration of sperm.
7. A woman cannot become pregnant the first time she has genital intercourse.
False If a woman is in the fertile phase of her cycle pregnancy can occur when she has genital intercourse or even first genital contact.
8. Usually, one ovum (egg) will ovulate during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
True If more than one egg ovulates, both eggs will ovulate within the same twenty-four hour period, because ovulation is precisely controlled by the hormones. Non-identical twins are produced when two eggs are fertilized in the same menstrual period.
9. Ovulation occurs on only one day in each menstrual cycle.
True A woman does not ovulate today and then again a week later in the same menstrual cycle. Her reproductive hormones prevent this from happening.
10. Ovulation is the release of an ovum (egg) from the ovary.
True When the egg is released from the ovary, it enters the fallopian tube where fertilization can occur if sperm are present.
True Men normally develop thousands of sperm everyday from puberty to death.
12. Women are fertile because they can have babies; therefore, men are not fertile.
12. False Normally men are always fertile because they are constantly developing sperm. Therefore, they are capable of causing a pregnancy with every act of genital intercourse.
13. A women can get pregnant anytime she has genital intercourse during the menstrual cycle.
False A woman can become pregnant only during her fertile phase. However, the fertile phase can begin almost anytime during the menstrual cycle.
14. Ovulation occurs on the fourteenth day of each menstrual cycle.
False Ovulation occurs approximately two weeks before the next menstrual bleeding, no matter what the length of the cycle may be.
15. The reproductive hormones in men are secreted at almost constant levels from puberty to death.
True In men, the hormones from the pituitary gland and the testes are secreted at a relatively constant level from puberty to death.
False Life beings when sperm and ovum unite at fertilization in the fallopian tube. This is known as conception.
17. Menstrual cycle and menstrual period have the same meaning.
False The menstrual cycle begins the first day of menstrual bleeding and ends the day before the menstrual bleed begins. The menstrual period is the menstrual bleeding
18. The sex of the baby is determined by the sex chromosomes in the mother’s egg.
False The sex of the baby is determined by the sex chromosomes of the sperm which penetrates the ovum. If it is a sperm with an “X” sperm chromosome, the baby will be a girl. If it is a sperm with a “Y” sex chromosome, the baby will be a boy. All ova (eggs) have only “x” chromosomes.
19. Fertilization occurs when the sperm penetrates the ovum.
True Life begins when an egg is fertilized by a sperm. All human beings began life in this manner.
False Conception(fertilization) normally takers place in the outer portion of the fallopian tube.
