Solution

The correct option is A Only excretory
In human males, the urethra originates from the urinary bladder and extends through the penis to its external opening called as urethral meatus. The urethra is longer in males and conducts both urine and semen. The urethra is short in females and conducts only urine. The genital tract in female is separate. The uterus opens into vagina through a narrow cervix. The cavity of the cervix is called as cervical canal, which along with vagina forms the birth canal.
