Question

the male reproductive system and the urinary system share which organ?
urethra
bladder
ureter
prostate gland
question 17
spermatogenesis occurs in the:
seminiferous tubules
prostate gland
epididymis
seminal vesicle

Explanation:

• For the first question: The urethra is a shared organ. In males, it serves both the urinary system (carrying urine out of the body) and the reproductive system (carrying semen during ejaculation). The bladder is only part of the urinary system (stores urine), the ureter is only part of the urinary system (transports urine from the kidney to the bladder), and the prostate gland is only part of the reproductive system (secretes fluid for semen).
• For the second question: Spermatogenesis (the process of producing sperm) occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. The prostate gland secretes a fluid that is part of semen, the epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored, and the seminal vesicle secretes a fluid that makes up a large portion of semen.

Answer:

• First question: urethra
• Second question: seminiferous tubules
