Question 7

Prostate Gland

Answer 7

Produces fluid that helps form semen, aiding sperm movement.

Question 8

Answer 8

Glands that secrete a fluid to lubricate and protect sperm in the semen.

Question 9

Menstrual Cycle

Answer 19

Monthly cycle of changes in the female reproductive system, including ovulation and menstruation.

Question 20

Accessory Glands

Answer 20
