Given below is a diagrammatic sketch of a portion of human male reproductive system. Select the correct set of the names of the parts labelled A, B, C, D.
A
A – Ureter, B – Seminal vesicle, C – Prostate, D – Bulbourethral gland
B
A – Ureter, B – Prostate, C – Seminal vesicle, D – Bulbourethral gland
C
A – Vas deferens, B – Seminal vesicle, C – Prostate, D – Bulbourethral gland
D
A – Vas deferens, B – Seminal vesicle, C – Bulbourethral gland, D – Prostate
Detailed Solution
A is the duct that comes up from the epididymis, loops over the urinary bladder and joins the duct of the seminal vesicle: the vas deferens. (The ureter comes from the kidney and opens into the bladder; it is not part of this duct system.)
B is the elongated, sac-like gland lying behind the bladder, whose duct joins the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory duct: the seminal vesicle.
C is the single gland surrounding the urethra just below the urinary bladder: the prostate.
D is the small, paired gland lying below the prostate and opening into the urethra: the bulbourethral (Cowper's) gland.
Hence A – vas deferens, B – seminal vesicle, C – prostate, D – bulbourethral gland.
B is the elongated, sac-like gland lying behind the bladder, whose duct joins the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory duct: the seminal vesicle.
C is the single gland surrounding the urethra just below the urinary bladder: the prostate.
D is the small, paired gland lying below the prostate and opening into the urethra: the bulbourethral (Cowper's) gland.
Hence A – vas deferens, B – seminal vesicle, C – prostate, D – bulbourethral gland.
