Male Reproductive System Components Quiz

Testes produce sperm through spermatogenesis.

The prostate gland produces a fluid that makes up a significant portion of semen.

LH regulates testosterone production in Leydig cells and sperm production in the seminiferous tubules.

The epididymis stores sperm and allows them to mature before ejaculation.

Seminal vesicles produce a fructose-rich fluid that provides energy for sperm.

The vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation.

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair and muscle growth.

The inguinal canal is a passage through which the testes descend into the scrotum during fetal development.

FSH stimulates the production of sperm in the testes.

Leydig cells in the testes produce testosterone in response to LH stimulation.

Seminal vesicles contribute alkaline fluid to semen, aiding in neutralizing the acidic female reproductive tract.

The prostate gland surrounds the urethra and secretes a milky fluid that makes up part of semen.

Cowper's glands secrete a fluid that neutralizes acidic urine in the urethra before ejaculation.

Fertilization typically occurs in the female's fallopian tubes, not the male reproductive system.

The epididymis stores and allows for the maturation of sperm.

Seminal vesicles store and secrete a fluid rich in fructose, providing energy for sperm.

The dartos muscle contracts and relaxes to adjust the position of the scrotum and regulate testicular temperature.

Seminal vesicles produce a fluid rich in fructose, which is a major component of seminal fluid.

Inhibin is produced by the testes and inhibits the release of FSH and LH to regulate testosterone levels.
