Summary Introduction
To review:
Answer each of the following questions:
1. The names of the glandular accessory organs and their location in the figure.
2. The gland that primarily produces mucus.
3. The gland that produces the largest fraction of the volume of semen.
4. The gland that is located at the junction of the ejaculatory duct and the urethra.
Introduction:
The male reproductive system is responsible for the formation of sperms, and helps them to deliver into the female reproductive tract. The male accessory glands produce the sperm, which is mixed with semen that contains chemicals for protection.
