Correctly match the numbers listed on the left to the chronological pathway of Sperm (from formation to ejaculation) in ascending order. 1. Sperm are produced in the Penis. 2. Arousal/Erection: Blood rushes to the erectile tissue and causes the penis to stand up and become hard. 3. Sperm move to the Epididymis to mature. 4. Seminal Vesicle adds a nutrient-rich fluid, high in fructose, to the sperm, making a mixture called semen. 5. Prostate Gland contributes more fluid to the semen. 6. Cowper's Gland secretes a basic fluid that neutralizes the acidic urethra before the semen arrives (this is called the pre-ejaculate). 7. Sperm move to the Vas Deferens to begin traveling through the male body (The Sperm Highway).

Question 3: Describe the pathway of sperm beginning in the seminiferous tubules and ending in ejaculation. Use the terms from the word bank below. DON'T JUST CONNECT THE WORDS, EXPLAIN!!! Word Bank: seminal fluid spongy urethra corpora cavernosa ampulla bulbourethral gland efferent ductules semen body of the epididymis tail of the epididymis ejaculation ductus (or vas) deferens penis seminal vesicles head of the epididymis membranous urethra mediastinum testis ejaculatory duct prostatic urethra corpus spongiosum prostate gland rete testis seminiferous tubules
