Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The epididymis is the final area for the storage and maturation of sperm. An infection in the epididymis does not impact testosterone production, blood flow to the penis, or the ability to sustain an erection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The total ejaculate of a healthy male contains from 20 to 150 million sperm. Sperm count of 5 million would likely not result in pregnancy.
