    parts labelled A, B and C. Write your answer on the figure.
    2. Grandpa Tom is admitted to hospital with prostate cancer:

    a. Which structure in the urinary system is MOST likely blocked?

    b. Explain how the cancer may affect his urination.

    3. Identify where semen is mainly produced and explain its role in the male reproductive
    system.

    4. Explain why the testes being held outside of the rest of the body is important to the
    production of male sex cells.

    5. Explain the physical process that takes place within the male reproductive system, that
    leads to an erection.

    Topic - Reproduction in humans

    Subtopic - Structure of the Male Reproductive System

    Section A

    1.

    2.
    a. Urethra
    b. Cancer may cause the prostate to become enlarged, constrict the urethra and
    possibly put pressure against the bladder, if large enough. As a result, he may be
    unable to start urination, may suffer from incomplete emptying of the bladder or
    have a weak urine stream.
    3. Semen is primarily made up of seminal fluids that are produced in the seminal vesicle. It
    is a medium to support and transport the sperm on its journey to fertilization. Human
    semen contains enzymes as well as fructose that promote healthy sperms and help the
    motility/movement of sperms. Semen is also alkaline which helps to protect the sperm
    from the acidic environment of the uterus to achieve fertilization.
    4. To produce spermatozoa/sperms, the testicles/testes need to be at a temperature lower
    than the rest of the body. For this reason, the testes are contained in the scrotum that is
    located outside of the body so that it can maintain an optimal temperature for the
    production of sperms.
    5. The blood vessels of the corpora cavernosa relax and open up, causing blood to rush in
    and fill them. The blood then gets trapped under high pressure which produces an
    erection.
