D
Prostate gland
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the main components of the male reproductive system: testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, and seminal vesicles.
Understand the function of each component: The testes are responsible for producing sperm and hormones. The epididymis stores and matures sperm. The vas deferens transports sperm. The prostate gland contributes fluid to semen.
Focus on the testes, which contain structures called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are where spermatogenesis, the process of sperm formation, occurs.
Learn about spermatogenesis: It is the process by which sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules. It involves the division and maturation of germ cells into mature spermatozoa.
Conclude that the seminiferous tubules within the testes are the specific site of sperm formation in the male reproductive system.
