Which male structures does the nurse consider if the problem is narrowed to sperm survivability? A) Bartholin glands

D) Vas deferens
B
Feedback:
The accessory structure of the prostate gland contains secretory cells that produce alkaline fluid. The prostatic fluid mixes with sperm. The alkalinity of the prostatic fluid neutralizes the acidic metabolic wastes released by the sperm and counteracts the acid pH within the vagina to ensure mass survival of the sperm. The Cowper's glands add lubrication for penetration of the vagina.
