Given below is a diagrammatic sketch for a portion of human male reproductive system. Select the correct set of the names of the parts labelled A, B, C, D. [Figure]
- A - Ureter, B - Seminal vesicle, C - Prostate, D - Bulbourethral gland
- A - Vas deferens, B - Seminal vesicle, C - Prostate, D - Bulbourethral gland
- A - Vas deferens, B - Seminal vesicle, C - Bulbourethral gland, D - Prostate
- A - Ureter, B - Prostate, C - Seminal vesicle, D - Bulbourethral gland
Answer
(2) A - Vas deferens, B - Seminal vesicle, C - Prostate, D - Bulbourethral gland
Solution
The duct A coming from the testis loops over the urinary bladder ⇒ vas deferens.
B, the sac-like gland lying behind the bladder and joining the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory duct ⇒ seminal vesicle.
C, the gland surrounding the urethra just below the bladder ⇒ prostate.
D, the small paired gland below the prostate ⇒ bulbourethral (Cowper's) gland.
As per NCERT, the male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral glands.
