How many lobes does the right lung have?
Three
Two
One
Four
Five
The right lung contains three lobes: upper, middle, and lower. The left lungs contains two lobes: upper and lower. The left lung is designed to be smaller than the right in order to accommodate the heart, which is situated slightly to the left.

Before it enters the lungs, air must pass through which of the following structures?
The pharynx
The esophagus
Nephrons
Alveoli
After entering the nose and mouth, air is passed into the pharynx. It then travels to the larynx, which houses the vocal cords, before entering the trachea. The trachea transports the air into the thoracic cavity before branching into the primary bronchi. The right bronchus carries air to the right lung; the left bronchus carries air to the left lung. Of the given answer options, air only passes through the pharynx before entering the lungs.
Alveoli are found in the lungs and the primary site of gas exchange; however, the question specifies a structure before the air enters the lungs. The esophagus transports food, and is not involved in respiration. Nephrons are the function units of the excretory system, and are located in the kidneys.

What is a key difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
Spermatogenesis results in 4 sperm; oogenesis results in only 1 egg.
Spermatogenesis results in only 1 sperm; oogenesis results in 4 eggs.
Spermatogenesis results in 2 sperm; oogenesis results in only 1 egg.
Spermatogenesis results in 8 sperm; oogenesis results in only 4 eggs.
Spermatogenesis results in only 1 sperm; oogenesis results in 2 eggs.
During spermatogenesis, one spermatogonia will become 4 separate functioning spermatozoa. In oogenesis, a primary oocyte will become 1 functioning ovum (or egg) while 3 polar bodies are also produced, which are nonfunctioning and never become eggs.

When a female ovulates, in what phase of division is the oocyte?
Metaphase II
Metaphase I
Prophase II
Prophase I
Anaphase I
When a female ovulates, the oocyte is in metaphase II, until it becomes fertilized by a sperm. It then completes the second phase of meiosis to make a mature ovum. Remember that, unlike spermatogenesis, oogenesis begins during development. All oocytes undergo meiosis I during fetal development, and are kept suspended in prophase II until ovulation, when they shift to metaphase II. Meiosis only continues beyond metapahse II if fertilization occurs.
