Question

Sperm are released out of the male reproductive system through the ________

epididymis
testes
scrotum
urethra

Answer 1

I'm aware of the path of sperm. Testes>epididymis>vas deferens >urethra. However, this question is phrased weirdly. Are they asking me where the mature sperm is released out of or where out of the reproductive system the sperm is released?

Answer 2

Well, for out of the reproductive system I would have to say urethra as that is the last part of the reproductive system (at least in some species).

Answer 3

There is indeed some problem with the qn...The sperms are actually produced in the testis..and since the qn is THROUGH WHICH PART OF REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM..., I should go with epididymis..since the sperms are released through it during ejaculation..:)

Answer 4

I think to really be 100% sure of the answer on this question we would need to know the species. The urethra is part of the system in human males, as all mammals. No urethra, not sperm being released.

Answer 5

I can see the validity in both of your statements. As the mature sperm is released out of the epididymis from the testes, AND they also leave the penis through the urethra. We are speaking of humans, by the way.

Answer 6

I only say urethra because the question specifically says "out of the..." which literally means when it is completely out of the male reproductive system. This may or may not be the intent of the question though.

Answer 7

It would be different to me if it asked something like, where are the mature sperm cells first releasted."

Answer 8

I really noww have a doubt regarding the qn..:(

Answer 9

I was also kind of leaning towards urethra for the same reason you are. I'm going to go with urethra and submit the question. I'll tell you what it ends up being in a second. Also, thanks for the quick responses! You guys are the best!

Answer 10

since the qn is OUT OF THE HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYTEM..Now I have to agree with @mrdoldum ..@LoverofWords ..submit your answer as urethra..:)

Answer 11

Answer 12
