Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A vasectomy involves cutting and sealing off the vas deferens, which is the tube that transports sperm from the testes to the urethra. Therefore, after a vasectomy, the vas deferens will no longer transport sperm to the urethra, and so sperm will not be present in the ejaculate/semen. Choice A is true because the bulbourethral glands are not involved in the transport of sperm. Choice C is true because the interstitial cells are responsible for producing the male sex hormone testosterone, which is not affected by a vasectomy. Choice D is true because sperm will not be present in the semen and Choice E is also true because the vasectomy does not impact the female reproductive system.
