Question map
Which one of the following is NOT a component of human male reproductive system?
Explanation
The human male reproductive system consists of both external and internal organs designed for sperm production and transport. Key components include the testes, scrotum, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the urethra [1][2][3]. The vas deferens serves as a duct for sperm transfer, while the seminal vesicles provide fluid and nutrition for sperm transport [1]. The urethra acts as a common passage for both urine and semen in males [1][2]. In contrast, the cervix is a critical component of the female reproductive system, located between the uterus and the vagina [2]. Other female structures include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus [2]. Therefore, the cervix is not a part of the male reproductive anatomy [2].
