Prostate Gland's Role in Reproduction

Steps:

• Recall the male reproductive system: glands like prostate, testes, and seminal vesicles contribute to semen formation.
• Identify prostate location: surrounds the urethra below the bladder.
• Link function to sperm viability: prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm during ejaculation.
• Eliminate unrelated roles: match choices to known gland functions for accuracy.

Why C is correct:

• The prostate gland produces alkaline fluid that forms part of semen, providing nutrients and mobility for sperm, as defined in human anatomy.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands, not the prostate.
• B: Testosterone is mainly produced by the testes (Leydig cells).
• D: Mature sperm are stored in the epididymis, not the prostate.

Final answer: C
