Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding male reproductive function is false?

Testosterone is primarily produced by the Leydig cells in the testes.

The epididymis is responsible for the maturation and storage of sperm.

Sperm production occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

The prostate gland produces sperm cells.

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by analyzing each statement provided in the problem. Identify the anatomical structures and their functions in the male reproductive system.

Step 2: Review the role of Leydig cells in the testes. Leydig cells are responsible for producing testosterone, a key hormone in male reproductive function. This statement is true.

Step 3: Examine the function of the epididymis. The epididymis is a coiled tube located on the posterior side of the testes, responsible for the maturation and storage of sperm. This statement is also true.

Step 4: Investigate the seminiferous tubules. These are specialized structures within the testes where spermatogenesis (sperm production) occurs. This statement is accurate as well.

Step 5: Evaluate the statement about the prostate gland. The prostate gland does not produce sperm cells; its primary function is to secrete a fluid that nourishes and protects sperm during ejaculation. This statement is false, making it the correct answer to the problem.
