Psych/Women 357 NAME ___________________________________ Test 1 STUDENT NUMBER _____________________________ Spring 2005 VERSION A Test Instructions: 1. Put your name and student number on both this test sheet and on your mark-sense form. Be sure to accurately fill in the bubbles on the mark-sense form. 2. Put the test version (found above) on your mark-sense form and fill in the appropriate bubble. 3. Answer all true-false and multiple choice questions both on this form and on your mark-sense form. THE ANSWERS ON THE MARK-SENSE FORM ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE GRADED so be particularly cautious in filling out that form. The answers on this sheet, when later compared to the test key, will permit you to determine which questions you answered correctly or incorrectly. This is important for your personal feedback since the mark-sense form will not be returned. 4. Answer the short-answer questions on this sheet only. 5. Insert your mark-sense sheet into this test packet and turn them both in to the appropriate pile at the front of the class. True or False. (1 point each) 1.

During the maturation of the Graafian follicle, the amount of follicular fluid decreases as ovum size increases in order to make room within the follicle for the larger ovum. A. True B. False Multiple choice: Select the SINGLE most correct answer. (1 point each) 16. The corpora cavernosa are: A. erectile tissue located in the clitoris which engorge with blood during sexual stimulation. B. glands which secrete fluids into the vagina during sexual excitement.
