Question

The vas deferens receives duct from the seminal vesicle and opens into urethra as:

• A. Ureter
• B. Epididymis
• C. Ejaculatory duct
• D. Efferent ductule

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ejaculatory duct

Male reproductive system: Route

The male reproductive system is located in the pelvic region and consists of a pair of testes as the primary reproductive organ, accessory ducts and glands and external genitalia (penis).

● The testes consist of the seminiferous tubules that produce the sperms. These tubules are coiled and are closed at one end. At the other end, a number of seminiferous tubules join to form a network called rete testis.

● The rete testis join to form vasa efferentia or efferent ductules.
● The efferent ductules leave the testes to open into the epididymis.
● Epididymis opens into the vasa deferentia or sperm duct.
● Vasa deferentia receives the duct from the male accessory glands (seminal vesicle, prostate and bulbourethral) and then continues as the ejaculatory duct to open into the urethra.

Ureter

Ureters are tube-like structures that arise from the kidneys and help in transporting urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Ureters are not a part of the reproductive tract.

Final answer

b. Ejaculatory duct
