Question

Trace the path of sperm during ejaculation and mention the gland and its functions associated with the male reproductive system.

Answer 1

Path of sperm during ejaculation:

1. The process of ejecting semen from the male reproductory tract is known as ejaculation.
2. Sperm and seminal plasma are expelled from the male reproductive system during ejaculation.
3. Sperm exits the testis and enters the vas deferens before passing into the urethra and ejaculating.
4. The seminal vesicle and prostate gland secretions nourish the sperms while also facilitating their movement.
5. The path of sperm during ejaculation is as follows: the sperm travels from the testes to the epididymis, then to the vas deferens, then to the prostate, and ultimately to the urethra.

Glands and their activities are related to the male reproductive system:

1. Testes: Secretes testosterone.
2. Prostate gland: Makes the sperm medium alkaline.
3. Seminal vesicle: Secretes fluid that becomes semen.
4. Cowper's gland: Lubricates the urethra and neutralizes acidic urine remnants.
