Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each structure listed in the male reproductive system.
The prostate gland is responsible for secreting fluid that nourishes and protects sperm, not for sperm production.
The epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored, but it is not where they are produced.
The vas deferens is a duct that transports mature sperm from the epididymis to the urethra, not a site of production.
The seminiferous tubules, located within the testes, are the specific site where spermatogenesis, or sperm production, occurs.
