Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, B, C

Feedback:

Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, as a result of prolonged fever, tight undergarments, and failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum can result in decreased sperm counts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

As the number of ova within an ovary is fixed at birth and decreases over time, a lack of production of ova is normal. The epithelial lining is normally broken during ovulation, and the LH is produced by the pituitary gland. A lack of progesterone would be considered pathological.
