Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organ produces sperm cells?
A
testes
B
epididymis
C
ovary
D
prostate gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm are produced and released by the male reproductive organs. The testes are where sperm are produced. The testes are linked to the rest of the male reproductive organs by the vas deferens, which extends over the base of the pelvic bone or ilium, and wraps around to the ampulla, seminal vesicle, and prostate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Testes (or testicles)-these are a pair of egg-shaped glands that sit in the scrotum, on the outside of the body. They produce sperm and testosterone, which is the male sex hormone. Epididymis-this is a highly coiled tube that lies at the back of the testes.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the young germ cells grow, the Sertoli cells help to transport them from the outer surface of the seminiferous tubule to the central channel of the tubule. Sperm cells are continually being produced by the testes, but not all areas of the seminiferous tubules produce sperm cells at the same time.
