Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key components of the male reproductive system mentioned in the statements: prostate gland, seminal vesicles, testes, and vas deferens.
Understand the function of each component: The prostate gland produces a fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. The seminal vesicles produce a significant portion of the fluid that becomes semen. The testes produce sperm and testosterone. The vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.
Evaluate the statement about the prostate gland: It is correctly stated that the prostate gland is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra.
Evaluate the statement about the seminal vesicles: The statement claims they produce testosterone, but in reality, they produce a fluid that is part of semen, not testosterone.
Conclude that the false statement is the one regarding the seminal vesicles producing testosterone, as this is not their function.
