Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prostate gland secretes an alkaline solution that neutralizes the acidic vaginal secretions, helping to protect the sperm as they travel through the female reproductive system.

Answer: B
 This statement is incorrect. The prostate gland does not secrete mucus for lubrication, but rather it secretes a fluid that aids in sperm motility and provides nutrients for the sperm.

Answer: C
 This statement is incorrect. While the male reproductive system does provide sites for the final maturation of sperm and for storing sperm, this primarily occurs in the epididymis and not in the prostate gland.

Answer: D
 This statement is incorrect. The ductus deferens is a separate structure from the prostate gland and is responsible for transporting sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
