8 multiple-choice questions and 3 flashcards on Reproductive System and Development, about 5% of the HS Anatomy & Physiology bank. Every one carries a written rationale.
Reproductive System and Development is one of 13 chapters in CoStudy's HS Anatomy & Physiology bank, and it holds 8 of the bank's 150 multiple-choice questions — roughly 5% of the total. That proportion is not arbitrary: chapters follow the certifying body's published exam outline, and the number of questions in each is set by that domain's published weight, so the share of your practice time this chapter takes matches the share of the real exam it accounts for.
Studying by chapter is worth doing once you have a diagnostic score. A single overall percentage tells you whether you are close; it does not tell you which domain is dragging. Working a weak chapter in isolation, and re-testing it in isolation, is the fastest way to move a score that has stalled — and it is why the mock exams in CoStudy report by domain rather than as one number.
1 questions drawn from this chapter, with the full rationale shown — the controlling principle behind the right answer, and why each wrong option tempts and fails.
Major divisions of the brain:
Answer: D — Cerebrum (largest, divided into 4 lobes), cerebellum (movement coordination), brainstem (vital functions); diencephalon includes thalamus, hypothalamus
Brain regions: cerebrum (cortex + subcortical; 4 lobes — frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital). Cerebellum: motor coordination. Brainstem (medulla, pons, midbrain): vital functions (breathing, HR). Diencephalon: thalamus (relay), hypothalamus (homeostasis). ~86 billion neurons.
3 cards from the 3 in this chapter.
Fertilization?
Sperm + egg unite (usually in fallopian tube) → zygote → develops into embryo → fetus.
Female reproductive organs?
Ovaries (eggs + estrogen/progesterone), fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina.
Male reproductive organs?
Testes (sperm + testosterone), epididymis, vas deferens, prostate, seminal vesicles, urethra, penis.
These are a sample. The full Reproductive System and Development chapter runs 11 items with per-chapter progress tracking, on the web and in the iOS app.
