Question

Which one of these is not an accessory glands in male reproductive system?

• A. Prostate gland
• B. Seminal vesicle
• C. Cowper's gland
• D. Bartholin's gland

Answer 1

The correct option is D Bartholin's gland

Bartholin's gland is not an accessory gland in male reproductive system. It is present in females. It is located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. Bartholin's glands secrete mucus to provide vaginal lubrication.

Male accessory glands in humans are the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the Cowper's gland (also called as bulbourethral glands). These glands secrete fluid for the nourishment of sperms. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
