Question

Which of the following statements are true?

i. The hilum is the point of entry and exit for the blood vessels in the ovary
ii. Uterine atrophy can be attributed to dysfunctional ovaries.
iii. Tunica vaginalis lies inner to tunica albuginea in the female reproductive system
iv. The germinal epithelium contains simple columnar epithelium.

• A. I and II only
• B. I, II and III
• C. I, III and IV
• D. I and IV only

Answer 1

The correct option is A I and II only

Hilum is the point of entry and exit of blood vessels and nerves to an ovary, the female primary sex organ.

The germinal epithelium of the ovaries is composed of cuboidal epithelium.

The uterus is the organ that helps in the implantation of the zygote for further development. It is maintained by the female sex hormones produced by the ovaries. If the ovaries are somehow dysfunctional, amounts of the hormones are lowered. This may lead the uterus to get reduced in size (atrophied).

Testes are the male gonads. They have a protective covering called tunicae which include- outermost tunica vaginalis, middle tunica albuginea and inner tunica vasculosa. So, tunica vaginalis lie outer to the tunica albuginea in the male reproductive system.
