The long, multi-statement questions that dominated NEET 2025 & 2026 — each covers 5-6 concepts at once, so they double as fast full-chapter revision.
- Q1. Arrange the following structures in the correct sequence of sperm transport from their site of production to the external opening. 1. Vas deferens 2. Rete testis 3. Ejaculatory duct 4. Seminiferous tubules 5. Epididymis 6. Urethral meatus
- Q2. Which statements are true regarding the female reproductive system and its processes? S1. Fimbriae are finger-like projections directly attached to the ovarian surface to firmly hold the ovum. S2. The endometrium, being the inner glandular layer of the uterus, is responsible for undergoing cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle. S3. The cervical canal, formed by the cervix, serves as a passage connecting the uterus to the vagina, thus forming part of the birth canal. S4. The uterus is a self-supporting organ that does not require external ligamentous attachments to maintain its position in the pelvic cavity. S5. The corpus luteum's secretion of estrogen is primarily responsible for maintaining the endometrium during pregnancy.
- Q3. Which of the following statements accurately describe the events and hormonal profile during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle? S1: The luteal phase begins immediately after the LH surge, marking the transformation of the primary follicle into the Graafian follicle. S2: The corpus luteum, formed from the ruptured Graafian follicle, primarily secretes high levels of progesterone. S3: Progesterone secreted during this phase prepares the uterine endometrium for potential implantation of a fertilised ovum. S4: In the absence of fertilisation, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to a drop in progesterone levels and subsequent disintegration of the endometrium. S5: Both LH and FSH levels remain at their peak throughout the luteal phase to sustain the activity of the corpus luteum.
- Q4. Which of the following statements are correct regarding the process and requirements of fertilisation in humans? S1: Fertilisation typically occurs in the infundibulum of the fallopian tube. S2: For successful fertilisation, sperms and ovum must be transported simultaneously to the ampullary region. S3: The acrosome of the sperm contains enzymes that facilitate the entry of sperm into the ovum. S4: After fertilisation, the zygote immediately undergoes meiotic divisions to form a morula. S5: The zona pellucida of the ovum plays a crucial role in preventing polyspermy.

Estrogen D. Progesterone Column II (Function) 1. Maintains endometrium in luteal phase 2. Stimulates growth of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogen 3. Causes proliferation of endometrium during follicular phase 4. Induces ovulation and formation of corpus luteum
- Q2. In the diagram shown which cells are labeled as A?
- Q3. Match the columns Column I A. Ovarian epithelium B. Cortex C. Medulla D. Ligaments E. Graafian follicle Column II 1. Peripheral stroma zone 2. Inner stroma zone 3. Encloses ovarian stroma 4. Connects ovary to uterus & pelvic wall 5. Mature follicle releasing secondary oocyte

- Q5. Assertion (A): Sertoli cells are found in the lumen of seminiferous tubules. Reason (R): Sertoli cells secrete testosterone in response to LH.
- Q6. Assertion (A): Leydig cells are responsible for synthesising androgens. Reason (R): Leydig cells are located inside the seminiferous tubules.

Tertiary follicle has antrum; theca interna & externa 4. First meiotic division produces two equal haploid cells 5. Zona pellucida forms around secondary oocyte before ovulation
- Q9. Classify the following structures of the female reproductive system into their correct groups: Ovaries, oviducts, uterus, cervix, vagina, mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen, clitoris, mammary glands Groups: A.

Identify the correct statement on 'inhibin':
- A. Inhibits the secretion of LH, FSH and Prolactin
- B. Is produced by granulose cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH
- C. Is produced by granulose cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of LH
- D. Is produced by nurse cells in testes and inhibits the secretion of LH
Explanation: Answer: (B) Is produced by granulose cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH Solution: Inhibin is a hormone secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovary (and by Sertoli cells in males) and it specifically suppresses FSH secretion as part of feedback control. The NCERT chapter prose introduces granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte; the inhibin-FSH feedback detail is a NEET-extension point built on this, and option B alone correctly pairs the source (granulosa cells) with the target hormone (FSH). NCERT Reference: Ch 2, p.32, line 36 — "Each primary oocyte then gets surrounded by a"
Fertilization in humans is practically feasible only if:
- A. The sperms are transported into vagina just after the release of ovum in fallopian tube
- B. The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary - isthmic junction of the fallopian tube
- C. The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary - isthmic junction of the cervix
- D. The sperms are transported into cervix within 48 hrs. of release of ovum in uterus
Explanation: Answer: (B) The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary - isthmic junction of the fallopian tube Solution: Both the ovum and the motile sperms must reach the ampullary region of the fallopian tube at the same time for fusion to occur; this is why not every copulation results in fertilisation. Options naming the cervix or uterus as the fertilisation site are wrong, since fertilisation occurs at the ampullary-isthmic junction of the fallopian tube. NCERT Reference: Ch 2, p.35, line 28 — "Fertilisation can only occur if the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to the ampullary region."
Several hormones like hCG, hPL, estrogen, progesterone are produced by
- A. Ovary
- B. Placenta
- C. Fallopian tube
- D. Pituitary
Explanation: Answer: (B) Placenta Solution: After implantation the placenta acts as an endocrine tissue and produces hormones including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens and progestogens. Hence all the listed hormones are produced by the placenta, not the ovary, fallopian tube or pituitary. NCERT Reference: Ch 2, p.37, line 23 — "Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and produces"
Which of the following depicts the correct pathway of transport of sperms? (NEET 2016 Phase-2)
- A. Rete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens
- B. Rete testis → Epididymis → Efferent ductules → Vas deferens
- C. Rete testis → Vas deferens → Efferent ductules → Epididymis
- D. Efferent ductules → Rete testis → Vas deferens → Epididymis
Explanation: Answer: (A) Rete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens Solution: Sperms made in the seminiferous tubules open into the vasa efferentia (efferent ductules) through the rete testis; the vasa efferentia open into the epididymis, which then leads to the vas deferens. This fixes the order as rete testis → efferent ductules → epididymis → vas deferens. NCERT Reference: Ch 2, p.27, line 42 — "the testis open into the vasa efferentia through rete testis. The vasa efferentia"
