QUESTION

Cowper’s glands are well developed in?

OPTIONS

(A) Dogs
(B) Bulls
(C) Boar
(D) Stallion

ANSWER

(C) Boar

EXPLANATION

The boar has exceptionally well-developed bulbourethral, or Cowper's, glands that contribute the gelatinous fraction of its ejaculate. Bulls and stallions possess these glands but they are less conspicuous than in the boar. Dogs lack bulbourethral glands and have the prostate as their only major accessory sex gland. The boar is therefore the strongest anatomical match.
