Understand the role of each structure listed in the options in the male reproductive system.
The seminal vesicles are glands that secrete a significant portion of the fluid that becomes semen, providing nutrients for sperm.
The bulbourethral glands, also known as Cowper's glands, produce a pre-ejaculatory fluid that helps lubricate the urethra.
The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to semen, which helps nourish and transport sperm.
The vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts, but it does not produce any fluid or contribute to semen production.
