2 epididymis
3 prostate gland
4 vas deferens
5 urethra
wrong function option
produces seminal fluid
produce sperm and testosterone
filters blood
stores sperm
transports sperm
provides lubrication

Explanation:

• Testes: Produce sperm and testosterone. This is the primary function of the testes as they are the male gonads responsible for gamete (sperm) production and hormone (testosterone) secretion.
• Epididymis: Stores sperm. After sperm are produced in the testes, they mature and are stored in the epididymis until ejaculation.
• Prostate Gland: Provides lubrication. The prostate gland secretes a fluid that is part of semen, which helps in lubrication and also has components that nourish and protect sperm.
• Vas Deferens: Transports sperm. It is a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra during ejaculation.
• Urethra: In the context of male reproductive system (though it also has a urinary function), it transports sperm (as part of semen) out of the body during ejaculation.

Answer:

1. Testes - Produce sperm and testosterone
2. Epididymis - Stores sperm
3. Prostate Gland - Provides lubrication
4. Vas Deferens - Transports sperm
5. Urethra - Transports sperm (during ejaculation)
