Question

Choose the male external genitalia from the following.

• A. Scrotum
• B. Inguinal canal
• C. Testis
• D. Prostate

Answer 1

The correct option is A Scrotum

Parts of the male reproductive system can be grouped into external genitalia and internal genitalia.
External genitalia includes the penis and the scrotum, which are found outside the body. Rest of the parts including the primary and the other secondary sex organs found inside the body are members of the internal genitalia.

Testes is the primary sex organ responsible for the formation of gametes (sperms) and sex hormones (androgens in case of males).
Secondary or accessory sex organs are involved in aiding the transfer of gametes into the female reproductive tract. Penis and scrotum are the external secondary sex organs. Vas deferens, seminal vesicles, urethra and prostate glands are secondary internal genitalia.
