Question 4
The diagram below is an illustration of the male urinogenital system.
Study the diagram carefully careful and answer questions 4 (a),(b) and (c)
- Name the parts labelled I,II,III,IV,V, VI, VII and VIII [4 marks]
- State one function each of the parts labelled V,VII and VIII. [3 marks]
- Name three diseases which can be associated with the illustrated
system. [3 marks]
Observation
This question was attempted by many candidates and their performance was poor.
In part (a) candidates could not correctly name the part labelled I,II,III,IV,V, VI,
VII and VIII of the male urinogental system. In part (b) candidates could not also correctly state function each of the parts labelled V,VI and VII. In part (c) candidates correctly named diseases which can be associated with the male urinogenital system.
