Where does spermatogenesis occur in the male reproductive system?
A
Seminiferous tubules
B
Vas deferens
C
Epididymis
D
Prostate gland
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of spermatogenesis, which is the production of sperm cells in the male reproductive system.
Identify the primary location where spermatogenesis takes place. This is crucial for understanding the male reproductive anatomy.
Recall that the seminiferous tubules are the specific structures within the testes where spermatogenesis occurs.
Differentiate between the roles of other parts of the male reproductive system, such as the vas deferens, epididymis, and prostate gland, which are involved in the transport, maturation, and secretion of seminal fluid, but not in the production of sperm.
Conclude that the seminiferous tubules are the correct answer, as they are the site of sperm cell production within the testes.
