Answer to Question 1

D
A cremaster muscle is attached to each testicle. Its function is to bring the testicle closer to the body to warm it or allow it to fall away from the body to cool it, thus promoting normal sperm production.
The urinary meatus aids in controlling the excretion of urine.
Entrapment of the blood in the penis is due to its spongy tissue.
Seminal fluid assists with transporting sperm.

Answer to Question 2

C
All women have 15 to 20 lobes arranged around and behind the nipple and areola. These lobes, not the size of the breast, are responsible for milk production.
The size of the breasts does not ensure success or failure in breastfeeding.
Supplementation decreases the production of breast milk by decreasing stimulation. Stimula-tion of the breast, not the size of the breast, brings about milk production.
Increased levels of estrogen decrease the production of milk by affecting prolactin.
