Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: After sperm production, sperm is stored in the epididymis. The vas deferens carries sperm from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity. Sperm travels through the urethra to exit the body. The seminal vesicle secretes a glucose-rich fluid that nourishes sperm.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: Mucus coughed up is sputum. Phlegm is mucus in the respiratory tract. Stridor is a harsh, high-pitched sound. Hemoptysis is blood-tinged sputum.
