Explanation:

• Question 27: Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is often associated with menstruation and presents with symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, red eyes, dizziness, and a sunburn - like rash. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has more mood - related and milder physical symptoms. Menstrual cramps are mainly abdominal pain. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) has pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge etc.
• Question 28: The ovum is produced in the ovaries. It then moves through the fallopian tubes (where fertilization can occur) and then to the uterus.
• Question 29: If fertilization does not occur, the uterine lining (endometrium) is shed during menstruation. Menopause is the end of the menstrual cycle (usually due to age - related hormonal changes). Circumcision is a male - related procedure (removal of the foreskin). Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina.
• Question 30: Sperm are produced in the testes. They then move to the epididymis for maturation. After that, they travel through the vas deferens and then out of the body through the urethra. The fallopian tubes are female reproductive structures. The scrotum is just the sac that holds the testes and is not part of the sperm - transport pathway in the sense of internal transport before ejaculation.

Answer:

• 27. toxic shock syndrome
• 28. ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus
• 29. menstruation
• 30. testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra
