Options

- BThe epididymis leads to vas deferens that ascends to the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder.
- CThe secretions of bulbourethral glands provide the main source of fructose for sperm motility.
- DThe secretions of bulbourethral glands help in the lubrication of the penis.
Correct answer
C. The secretions of bulbourethral glands provide the main source of fructose for sperm motility.
Step-by-step solution
The male accessory glands include paired seminal vesicles, a prostate and paired bulbourethral glands. Secretions of these glands constitute the seminal plasma which is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes. The seminal vesicles are the primary source of this fructose, which provides energy for sperm motility. The secretions of the bulbourethral glands primarily help in the lubrication of the penis, not in providing fructose. The epididymis is located along the posterior surface of each testis and leads to
