Tyson’s glands occur in male on:

• A. urethra
• B. scrotum
• C. prepuce
• D. epididymis

Hint:

Tyson’s glands:
Type: Sebaceous glands
Location: Inner surface of prepuce
Secretion: Smegma (lubrication) They are not involved in sperm formation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall what Tyson’s glands are. Tyson’s glands are sebaceous glands present in the male reproductive system. They secrete a lubricating substance (smegma).
Step 2: Identify their anatomical location. These glands are located on the inner surface of the prepuce (foreskin) of the penis, near the glans.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options.
Urethra: Passage for urine and semen, not the site of Tyson’s glands.
Scrotum: Sac enclosing testes; contains sweat and sebaceous glands, but not Tyson’s glands.
Epididymis: Coiled tube for sperm maturation, unrelated to glandular secretion.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{prepuce}} \]
