Answer;

D) D

(Gap junctions)

Explanation;

Gap junctions are tunnel like junctions that can occur anywhere along the lateral membranes of adjacent cells. They  allow ions and small molecules to pass to one cell to the next for inter-cellular communication.

They function by allowing the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.The protein channels that make up gap junctions consist of two connexons. One connexon resides in the membrane of one cell.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The type of treatment indicated to treat infertility due to blockage of the vas deferens is surgery to remove the obstruction (option C).

Explanation:

Blockage of the vas deferens is a known cause of obstructive azoospermia, which prevents the passage of sperm and causes infertility. This type of obstruction can be corrected by surgery, part of the treatment of infertility from this cause.

The vas deferens are in charge of conducting the sperm from the testicles to the ejaculatory ducts, which prevents these gametes from being expelled to fulfill their function in reproduction.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     A. </em><u><em>Medication to stimulate sperm production</em></u><em> does not resolve the blockage. </em>

<em>     B. </em><u><em>Hormone therapy to increase testosterone </em></u><em>could be considered for infertility treatment, but the obstructive problem continues. </em>

<em>     D. </em><u><em>Semen implantation in the testes</em></u><em> does not exist as a medical treatment.</em>
