Which of the following is NOT part of the male reproductive system?

  1. Epididymis

  2. Vas deferens

  3. Oviduct

  4. Prostate gland

The correct answer is: Oviduct

The oviduct, also known as the fallopian tube, is a structure found in the female reproductive system. Its primary function is to transport ova (eggs) from the ovaries to the uterus and is involved in the process of fertilization. In contrast, the epididymis, vas deferens, and prostate gland are all integral components of the male reproductive system. The epididymis is responsible for storing and maturing sperm produced in the testes, while the vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. The prostate gland plays a crucial role in producing seminal fluid, which nourishes and facilitates the movement of sperm during ejaculation. Understanding these anatomical and functional distinctions is essential for comprehending the differences between male and female reproductive systems.
