Which one of the following is not a part of the male reproductive system in human beings?

The male reproductive system in human beings consists of several internal and external organs. The testes are the primary organs responsible for producing sperm and the hormone testosterone [2]. These are housed in the scrotum, an external sac that maintains a lower temperature necessary for sperm production [1]. The prostate gland is an internal accessory gland that contributes seminal fluid to protect and transport sperm [2]. In contrast, the cervix is a part of the female reproductive system. It is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus that opens into the vagina [4]. While the male system includes the penis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles, the female system is composed of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix [3]. Therefore, the cervix is not a part of the male reproductive system.
