Question

Statement I: Seminal vesicles are the structures that store sperms

Statement II: Citric acid released from seminal vesicles induces strong uterine contractions

• A. Statement I is true and statement II is false
• B. Statement I is false and statement II is true
• C. Both statement I and statement II are true
• D. Both statement I and statement II are false

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both statement I and statement II are false

Sperms are male gametes are stored in the epididymis (accessory duct) before ejaculation. The seminal vesicle is a paired accessory gland that secretes seminal plasma (60% of semen volume).

Prostaglandins present in the secretion of seminal vesicles that facilitate uterine contraction whereas secretion of the prostate gland has citric acid that provides energy for sperm motility. Citric acid can also help to maintain the pH of semen.
