The sperm duct from each side passes into which of the following?
- A
Ureter
- B
Testes
- C
Urethra
- D
Abdominal cavity
The sperm duct, also known as the vas deferens, carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. The urethra serves as a common duct for both sperm and urine, leading out of the body.
The ureter is a duct that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and it is not the pathway for sperm.
The testes are the male reproductive organs where sperm are produced, but the sperm duct (vas deferens) carries sperm away from the testes, not into them.
The sperm duct, also known as the vas deferens, carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. The urethra serves as a common duct for both sperm and urine, leading out of the body.
While the sperm duct passes through the abdominal cavity, it does not directly enter it. The vas deferens travels through the inguinal canal, connecting the testes to the urethra.
