Male Accessory Glands & Seminal Plasma — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral glands. Secretions of these glands constitute the seminal plasma which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes. The secretions of bulbourethral glands also helps in the lubrication of the penis.
Match the following male reproductive structures with their characteristic function or feature: Column I (Structure) A. Seminal Vesicle B. Prostate Gland C. Bulbourethral Gland D. Epididymis E. Vas deferens Column II (Characteristic Function / Feature) 1. Secretions primarily help in lubrication of penis 2. Stores sperm temporarily and aids in their maturation 3. Secretions are rich in fructose and calcium 4. Contains enzymes and contributes to seminal plasma 5. Ascends to the abdomen and loops over urinary bladder Choose the correct option:
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2, E-5
The core concept tested is the identification and specific functions of male accessory glands and ducts. A. Seminal Vesicle: Secretions of seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands constitute seminal plasma which is 'rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes'. So, A-3. B. Prostate Gland: Prostate is one of the accessory glands whose secretions contribute to seminal plasma, including 'certain enzymes'. So, B-4. C. Bulbourethral Gland: Secretions of bulbourethral glands 'also helps in the lubrication of the penis'. So, C-1. D. Epididymis: 'Secretions of epididymis... are essential for maturation and motility of sperms'. It also 'stores and transport the sperms'. So, D-2. E. Vas deferens: The epididymis 'leads to vas deferens that ascends to the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder'. So, E-5. Thus, the correct match is A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2, E-5.
