Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Sperm are produced in the:
A
prostate
B
seminal vesicles
C
testes
D
vas deferens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored. The release process starts when the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis. The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The testes are where sperm are manufactured in the scrotum. The epididymis is a tortuously coiled structure topping the testis, and it receives immature sperm from the testis and stores it for several days. When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the production of sperms in the testes, the spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis. After spermiogenesis, mature spermatozoa are released from sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules of testes by the process called spermiation.
