Final answer:
The correct answer to the question is (d) Testes, which are the site of sperm production. This occurs in the seminiferous tubules within the testes through the process known as spermatogenesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The site of sperm production in the male reproductive anatomy is the testes. Specifically, sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules which are located within the testes. The process of sperm production is called spermatogenesis. After being produced in the testes, the sperm undergo maturation in the epididymis before being transported through the reproductive system.
To address the options provided in the question:
- (a) Epididymis - Sperm mature here after being produced in the testes.
- (b) Seminal vesicles - These glands produce a fluid that is a major component of semen, not sperm.
- (c) Prostate gland - Also produces a fluid that is part of the semen.
- (d) Testes - The correct answer as this is where sperm production occurs.
The nurse would know the teaching was successful if the students identify the testes as the site of sperm production.
