Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasalgel blocks the ductus deferentia, which is the tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. As a result, sperm will be prevented from traveling to the urethra and being ejaculated during sexual intercourse, providing a contraceptive effect. Choices A, B, and D are not accurate descriptions of the mechanism of action of Vasalgel.
