The reason why the testes are suspended in the scrotum is:

to provide for a cooler temperature.

32

Implantation involves ________.

embedding of the blastocyst in the uterine wall

33

A female infant is born with several hundred oocytes, each one genetically unique. This is due to ________.

50

Prolactin causes:

milk production by the breast tissue.
