Question

which is the path of sperm from the testes to the urethra? urethra → prostate gland → seminal vesicles → vas deferens → epididymis epididymis → seminal vesicles → vas deferens → prostate gland → urethra epididymis → vas deferens → seminal vesicles → prostate gland → urethra vas deferens → epididymis → seminal vesicles → prostate gland → urethra

Explanation:

To determine the correct path of sperm from the testes to the urethra, we recall the male reproductive system's sperm transport pathway. Sperm are produced in the testes and then move to the epididymis for maturation and storage. From the epididymis, they travel through the vas deferens. Next, they pass through the seminal vesicles (which add fluid), then the prostate gland (which also adds fluid), and finally to the urethra for ejaculation. Let's analyze each option:

• First option: The order is reversed (starts with urethra), so incorrect.
• Second option: Seminal vesicles come after vas deferens in the correct path, so this is wrong.
• Third option: Correctly follows epididymis → vas deferens → seminal vesicles → prostate gland → urethra.
• Fourth option: Vas deferens should come after epididymis, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. epididymis $
ightarrow$ vas deferens $
ightarrow$ seminal vesicles $
ightarrow$ prostate gland $
ightarrow$ urethra (assuming the third option is labeled C; adjust label as per original question's numbering if different, but the text of the option is as above)
