    A. Ejaculatory duct
    Explanation
    The fluid secreted from the seminal vesicles helps carry sperm through the ejaculatory duct. The seminal vesicles are responsible for producing a significant portion of the fluid that makes up semen. This fluid contains various nutrients and enzymes that nourish and protect the sperm, helping them survive and swim more effectively. The ejaculatory duct is a tube that connects the seminal vesicles to the urethra, allowing the sperm and seminal fluid to be expelled from the body during ejaculation. Therefore, the fluid secreted from the seminal vesicles plays a crucial role in the transportation of sperm through the ejaculatory duct.

    The testes are two oval-shaped structures that are made of

    • Adipose tissue

    • Seminal muscle

    • Connective tissue

    • Seminiferous muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Connective tissue
    Explanation
    The testes are two oval-shaped structures that are made of connective tissue. Connective tissue is a type of tissue that provides support and structure to various organs and body parts. In the case of the testes, connective tissue helps to hold the seminiferous tubules, blood vessels, and other components of the testes together. It also plays a role in maintaining the shape and integrity of the testes. Adipose tissue, on the other hand, is a type of fat tissue and is not found in the testes. Seminal muscle and seminiferous muscle are not accurate descriptions of the tissue composition of the testes.
