A
Seminal vesicles
B
Prostate gland
C
Epididymis
D
Vas deferens
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the role of each structure in the male reproductive system: The seminal vesicles and prostate gland are primarily involved in producing seminal fluid, not in the transport of sperm.
Recognize that the epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored, but it is not the primary structure for transporting sperm during ejaculation.
Identify the vas deferens as the duct that transports mature sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct in preparation for ejaculation.
Consider the pathway of sperm: Sperm travel from the epididymis through the vas deferens, which merges with the seminal vesicle duct to form the ejaculatory duct.
Conclude that the vas deferens is the key structure responsible for the transport and delivery of sperm from the testes to the urethra during ejaculation.
