Semen Formation & Male Accessory Glands — NEET Biology

📚 Practice Concept
📖 NCERT Source

Sperms released from the seminiferous tubules, are transported by the accessory ducts. Secretions of epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle and prostate are essential for maturation and motility of sperms. The seminal plasma along with the sperms constitute the semen. The functions of male sex accessory ducts and glands are maintained by the testicular hormones (androgens).

Which of the following statements are NOT correct regarding male accessory ducts and glands? S1: The epididymis is the primary site for the temporary storage and maturation of spermatozoa. S2: Seminal vesicles contribute fructose and calcium to the seminal plasma, providing energy and ionic balance for sperm. S3: Secretions from the bulbourethral glands contribute primarily to the fructose and calcium content of the seminal plasma. S4: The prostate gland secretions include enzymes and contribute to a significant portion of the seminal plasma. S5: Vasa efferentia are responsible for the long-term storage of mature sperms before ejaculation.
