– Ductus deferens
conduct sperm
between epididymis
and prostate
– Seminal gland
secretes fluid making
up much volume of
semen
4
Module 26.1: Male Reproductive
Structures (3 of 3)
• Internal genitalia
( continued )
– Prostate secretes fluid
and enzymes
– Bulbo-urethral gland
secretes fluids that
lubricate tip of penis

Module 26.2: Sperm Transport Relies on Ducts, Glands,
and Related Structures of the Scrotum and Testes
• Path of sperm
– Testis to the epididymis, along the ductus deferens,
then along the ejaculatory duct to the urethra
