Question

(i)Describe the role of prostate gland, seminal vesicle and testes in the human male reproductive system

(ii)How is the surgical removal of unwanted pregnancies misused?

(iii)Explain the role of oral contraceptive pills in preventing conception​

Answer 1

1)The prostate and the seminal vesicles produce fluid that nourishes the sperm. This fluid provides most of the volume of semen, the fluid in which the sperm is expelled during ejaculation. Other fluid that makes up a very small amount of the semen comes from the vas deferens and from Cowper glands in the urethra.

2)Thus sex determination during pregnancy and further, the abortion of female fetuses can lead to a further declination of the female population in the country. This procedure if misused can also affect the health of the mother, like long-term illness, sometimes infertility, or even maternal deaths

3)Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) are hormone-containing medications that are taken by mouth to prevent pregnancy. They prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and also by preventing sperm from penetrating through the cervix.22
