NEET Questions / Zoology / Human Reproduction / The Male Reproductive System
A male patient presents with infertility and upon examination, it's found that he has immotile sperms lacking a functional flagellum. Genetic analysis reveals a mutation affecting a specific protein crucial for flagellar structure. Which of the following proteins is MOST likely affected?
Tubulin
Actin
Myosin
Dynein
Which specific cell type within the testes is primarily responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and what enzyme facilitates this conversion?
Leydig cells; Aromatase
Sertoli cells; Aromatase
Leydig cells; 5ฮฑ-reductase
Sertoli cells; 5ฮฑ-reductase
A male patient presents with infertility and upon examination, it is found that he has immotile sperms. Genetic analysis reveals a mutation affecting a specific protein crucial for dynein arm function within the sperm flagella. Which of the following proteins is MOST likely affected by this mutation?
Tubulin
Axonemal dynein
Actin
Myosin
During spermatogenesis, a critical step involves the conversion of spermatids into spermatozoa. This intricate process, known as spermiogenesis, includes several key morphological changes. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of spermiogenesis?
Formation of the acrosome
Condensation of the nucleus
Development of the flagellum
Meiotic divisions
A rare genetic disorder affects the Sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules, specifically impairing their ability to produce Androgen Binding Protein (ABP). Which of the following would be the MOST likely direct consequence of this disorder?
Increased testosterone production by Leydig cells
Reduced spermatogenesis due to low testosterone concentration in the seminiferous tubules
Elevated levels of FSH and LH in the blood
Premature release of spermatozoa into the lumen
A researcher is studying the hormonal control of spermatogenesis. He administers a drug that selectively blocks the receptors for a specific hormone in the testes. As a result, he observes a significant decrease in the rate of spermatogenesis, but testosterone levels remain normal. Which hormone's receptors are MOST likely being blocked by the drug?
LH
FSH
Testosterone
Inhibin
Which of the following cells in the testes is responsible for the production of testosterone?
Sertoli cells
Spermatogonia
Leydig cells
Spermatids
The function of the epididymis is to:
Produce sperm
Transport sperm from testes to urethra
Store and mature sperm
Secrete seminal fluid
Which accessory gland contributes the largest volume to the seminal plasma?
Prostate gland
Bulbourethral glands
Seminal vesicles
Testes
The acrosome of a sperm contains:
Mitochondria for energy production
Genetic material
Enzymes for penetrating the egg
Cytoplasm rich in nutrients
