Thanks in advance!
Dear student,
Please find below the answer:
Path of sperm during ejaculation:
- The formation of germ-cells or sperms takes place in the testes.The sperms formed are delivered through the vas deferens which unites with a tube known as urethra and comes out from the urinary bladder.
- Along their path through the vas deferens, prostate glands and the seminal vesicles add up their secretions to the sperm medium so that the sperms are in a fluid form which helps in their convenient transport. This fluid also provide nourishment to the sperms.
- Testis: Help in the secretion of testosterone.
- Prostate gland: Help in making the medium for semen alkaline.
- Cowper's gland: Help in lubrication of urethra just before ejaculation.
- Seminal vesicles: Add up fluid to semen.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
