Question

Which of the following is an unpaired gland in human body?

Options

• Prostate gland

• Seminal vesicle

• Cowper’s gland

• Bartholin’s gland

Answer 1

Prostate gland

Explanation: 

The prostate gland is an unpaired gland located below the urinary bladder in the male reproductive system. It produces about 30% of the semen, secreting a slightly alkaline fluid that nourishes and increases the motility of sperm. Other glands like the seminal vesicles and cowper’s glands are paired, hence not unpaired. Bartholin’s gland is a female gland and also paired. Therefore, the prostate gland is the only unpaired gland among the options given.
