Question 5

What is the white secretion produced by the seminal vesicles, the prostate gland and Cowper's glands important for?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Transporting the sperm and supplying them with nourishment. With the sperm cells added to it, this secretion is called semen — and one millilitre of it holds several million sperm cells.

Making sperm and making testosterone are both the work of the testes, and storing them is the epididymis. These glands are associated with the system rather than part of the route the sperm are made in.
