Question

lo 7.1. what is the function of the vas deferens?
absorbs excess sperm from the epididymis
carries urine from the bladder to the urethra
secretes seminal fluid
carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra
provides a pathway for blood to flow to the testicles

Explanation:

The vas deferens is part of the male reproductive system. Its main role is to transport sperm. The epididymis stores sperm. The vas deferens then carries these sperm to the urethra.

• Option 1: Absorbing sperm is not its function.
• Option 2: Carrying urine is the job of other structures (like the urethra in a different context, but not the vas deferens for urine).
• Option 3: Secretion of seminal fluid is done by accessory glands (like the prostate, seminal vesicles).
• Option 5: Blood supply pathway is for blood vessels, not the vas deferens.

Answer:

Carries sperm from the epididymis to the urethra
