At puberty, the reproductive hormones stimulate the organs of the reproductive tract. Which statement best describes what happens to the ovaries at this time?
The ovaries become functional and produce mature ova one at a time.
What are the factors that explain why a woman is fertile only a few days out of each monthly cycle?
(1) Sperm usually cannot survive in the female reproductive tract for more than a few days,
(2) an ovum must unite with a sperm within 12 hours after ovulation, before it reaches the uterus, so it will be ready for implantation, and
(3) the cyclical mechanisms of female reproductive function limit the release of ova.
Why might salpingitis cause infertility?
It can cause obstruction of the lumen and marked dilation at the end of the uterine tube, preventing the ovum from entering the uterine tube.
