Question
Put in order the following structures of the male reproductive system and correctly traces the path of sperm from the testes to the outside of a male’s body (including the 3 glands that contribute to the semen).Begin where Sperm is Created (spermatogenesis)Group of answer choices123456789
Solution
- Testes (where spermatogenesis occurs)
- Epididymis (where sperm matures and is stored)
- Vas deferens (duct that transports sperm from the epididymis)
- Seminal vesicles (glands that add seminal fluid to the sperm)
- Ejaculatory duct (where sperm and seminal fluid mix)
- Prostate gland (adds additional fluid to the semen)
- Bulbourethral glands (also known as Cowper's glands, add a pre-ejaculate fluid to the semen)
- Urethra (the duct through which semen is expelled)
- Penis (the external organ through which semen exits the body)
So, the correct order tracing the path of sperm from the testes to the outside of a male’s body, including the three glands that contribute to the semen, is:
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8 -> 9
