Which one of the following is the correct match of the events occurring during the menstrual cycle?
1. | Ovulation - LH and FSH attain peak level and sharp fall in the secretion of progesterone |
2. | Proliferative phase - Rapid regeneration of myometrium and maturation of Graafian follicle |
3. | Development of corpus luteum - Secretory phase and increased secretion of progesterone |
4. | Menstruation - Breakdown of myometrium and ovum not fertilized |
1. primary spermatocytes
2. secondary spermatocytes
3. spermatids
4. spermatogonia

Select the correct sequence for the transport of sperm cells in the male reproductive system:
1. | Testis → Epididymis → Vasa efferentia → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Inguinal canal → Urethra → Urethral meatus |
2. | Testis → Epididymis → Vasa efferentia → Rete testis → Inguinal canal → Urethra |
3. | Seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → Vasa efferentia → Epididymus → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Urethra → Urethral meatus |
4. | Seminiferous tubules → Vasa efferentia → Epididymis → Inguinal canal → Urethra |

3. | spermatid-spermatocyte-spermatogonia-sperms |
4. | spermatogonia-spermatid-spermatocyte-sperms |
