Testes

At what stage of pregnancy is the term embryo applied?

Third week

Fluid from the prostate supports sperm mobility and ensures that semen does not clot.

True

The ducts and chambers that connect gonads to genitalia and the glands that secrete fluids to protect or transport gametes are classified as accessory organs in the reproductive system.
