Question

which structure of the male reproductive system is shared between the urinary and reproductive systems?
a. vas deferens
b. epididymis
c. urethra
d. testis

Explanation:

To determine the structure shared between the male urinary and reproductive systems, we analyze each option:

• Option A (vas deferens): Transports sperm, not involved in urine transport.
• Option B (epididymis): Stores and matures sperm, no role in urination.
• Option C (urethra): In males, it carries both urine (from the bladder) and semen (from reproductive organs), so it's shared.
• Option D (testis): Produces sperm and testosterone, not part of the urinary system.

Answer:

C. urethra
