Trace the path of sperm during ejaculation and mention the gland and their functions associated with the male reproductive system.
Ans
Sperm movement path during ejaculation:
Ejaculation is the process by which semen is expelled from the male reproductive tract.
During ejaculation, the male reproductive system releases seminal plasma and sperm.
Before entering the urethra and ejaculating, sperm leave the testis and travel through the vas deferens.
The sperm are nourished and assisted in their migration by the secretions of the prostate gland and seminal vesicle.
The sperm pass through the following stages during ejaculation: the testes, the epididymis, the vas deferens, the prostate, and finally the urethra.
The male reproductive system is connected to glands and their functions:
Testosterone is secreted by the tests.
The sperm medium is made alkaline by the prostate gland.
The fluid that turns into semen is secreted by the seminal vesicle.
Cowper's gland neutralises acidic urine residues and lubricates the urethra.
