The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding which structures contribute to the seminal plasma, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Composition of Semen**: - Semen, also known as seminal fluid, is an organic fluid that contains spermatozoa (sperm cells) and other components. 2. **Identify the Components of Seminal Plasma**: - Seminal plasma is the fluid part of semen that provides nutrients and a medium for spermatozoa. 3. **List the Contributing Glands**: - The seminal plasma is primarily contributed by: - **Seminal Vesicles**: These glands produce a significant portion of the seminal fluid, including fructose and citric acid, which provide energy for sperm. - **Prostate Gland**: This gland adds fluids that contain calcium ions and other substances that help in sperm motility and viability. - **Bulbourethral Gland (Cowper's Gland)**: This gland secretes alkaline mucus that helps to neutralize the acidity of the urethra and provides lubrication. 4. **Evaluate Other Options**: - The **urethra** does not contribute to the seminal plasma; it is merely a passage through which semen is expelled. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the structures that contribute to the seminal plasma are the **seminal vesicles (i)**, **prostate (ii)**, and **bulbourethral gland (iv)**. The correct answer is **(i), (ii), and (iv)**. ### Final Answer: The seminal plasma is contributed by (i) seminal vesicle, (ii) prostate, and (iv) bulbourethral gland. ---
