Question

Sperms travel during an ejaculation from the ---(i)-----, where they are stored to the ----(ii)----, from where they are transported to the ejaculatory duct and then to the ----(iii)----, which carries both reproductive and excretory fluids. A vasectomy is a surgical procedure for contraceptive purposes in which the ----(iv)---- is cut and blocked so as to prevent sperms from being present in the semen.

Select the correct sequence of terms to complete the above paragraph.

• A. (i)- Vas deferens (ii)- Epididymis (iii)- Urethra (iv)- Vas deferens
• B. (i)- Vas deferens (ii)- Epididymis (iii)- Urethra (iv)- Seminiferous tubules
• C. (i)- Epididymis (ii)- Vas deferens (iii)- Urethra (iv)- Vas deferens
• D. (i)- Epididymis (ii)- Vas deferens (iii)- Urethra (iv)- Seminiferous tubules

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i)- Epididymis (ii)- Vas deferens (iii)- Urethra (iv)- Vas deferens

• The epididymis is part of the male reproductive system which collects sperm from testes and stores.
• The vas deferens are the duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation.

In the human male, the urethra opens at the end of the penis. The urethra provides an exit for urine as well as semen during ejaculation.

• Vasectomy is a surgical treatment where the vas deference is sealed or tied to block the passage of sperms which helps to prevent fertilization.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
