Reproductive System Exam Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is one of the roles of the oxytocin hormone?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Stimulates milk ejection.' Oxytocin is responsible for contracting the muscles around the milk ducts, pushing milk into the nipples for breastfeeding. This process is known as milk ejection or let-down. The other choices are incorrect because oxytocin's primary function is to facilitate milk ejection rather than directly stimulating the production of milk, the development of lactoferrin, or the secretion of relaxin.
Question 2 of 5
The programs aimed at achieving total reproductive health as a social goal at the national level are called:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Reproductive health.' Reproductive health programs focus on ensuring overall well-being in relation to reproduction, including access to reproductive services, education, and healthcare. Choice A, 'Family organization,' does not specifically address health aspects related to reproduction. Choice B, 'Family planning,' is more focused on birth control and family size rather than the broader aspects of reproductive health. Choice C, 'Reproductive care,' is limited to the aspect of medical care and does not encompass the comprehensive approach of reproductive health programs.
Question 3 of 5
Which department of the Government ministries was given the mandate to pilot a draft population policy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The department of planning and development. In the extract provided, it explicitly mentions that this department was tasked with piloting the population policy. The other choices are incorrect because the National census is primarily responsible for collecting demographic data, Human rights focus on ensuring and protecting human rights, and Central statistics deal with statistical data collection and analysis, none of which directly align with piloting a population policy.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cell division through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Choice A, binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, not the process that occurs after fertilization in multicellular organisms. Choice B, meiosis, is a type of cell division that leads to the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes, not the process that occurs after fertilization. Choice C, budding, is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some organisms like yeast, but it is not the process of cell division after fertilization.
Question 5 of 5
Risk of endometrial hyperplasia is greatest in individuals who do not menstruate for at least _____ months and require immediate referral:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: '4 months.' The risk of endometrial hyperplasia is highest in individuals who do not menstruate for at least 4 months. This prolonged exposure to unopposed estrogen can lead to endometrial hyperplasia. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the risk is greatest after at least 4 months of not menstruating, not 2, 3, or 5 months.
