C) seminiferous tubules.
Spermatogenesis, the production of sperm, occurs in the seminiferous tubules. The
seminal vesicles secrete a glucose-rich fluid that nourishes sperm. The prostate gland secretes an
alkaline fluid that assists in keeping the sperm alive by neutralizing the pH of the urethra and
vagina. The epididymis serves as the location for sperm maturation and storage until they are
ready to be released into the vas deferens.
