Question

what are the three accessory glands in the male reproductive system?
testis, epididymis, and vas deferens
adrenal gland, pancreas, and liver
prostate gland, urethra, and bulbourethral glands
urethra, bladder, and seminal vesicles
seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands

Explanation:

The male reproductive system's accessory glands are responsible for secreting fluids that nourish and protect sperm. The seminal vesicles produce a fluid rich in fructose (energy for sperm), the prostate gland secretes a milky - white fluid that activates sperm, and the bulbourethral glands produce a clear, viscous fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralizes any acidic urine residue.

• Testis is a primary reproductive organ (produces sperm), epididymis stores sperm, vas deferens transports sperm—none are accessory glands.
• Adrenal gland (endocrine, stress response), pancreas (digestive and endocrine), liver (digestive and detoxification)—not male reproductive accessory glands.
• Urethra is a passage (not a gland), bladder stores urine—incorrect.

Answer:

Seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.
