Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each structure listed in the options: Epididymis, Seminal vesicles, Vas deferens, and Prostate gland.
The epididymis is a coiled tube that sits on the back of each testicle and is responsible for storing and maturing sperm cells.
The seminal vesicles are glands that produce a significant portion of the fluid that becomes part of semen, but they do not store sperm.
The vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts, but it is not primarily a storage site.
The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to semen, aiding in sperm motility and longevity, but it does not store sperm.
