Which sequence correctly describes the male reproductive pathway from production to exit?

• A. Testes -> epididymis -> vas deferens -> ejaculatory duct -> urethra (prostatic/membranous/spongy) -> penis
• B. Testes -> urethra -> vas deferens -> epididymis -> penis
• C. Epididymis -> testes -> vas deferens -> urethra -> penis
• D. Testes -> prostate -> urethra -> penis

Answer: (A)

The sequence tests how sperm travel from production to exit. Sperm are produced in the testes, then move to the epididymis where they mature and are stored. When ejaculation occurs, they are propelled through the vas deferens toward the accessory glands. The vas deferens joins with the duct from the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the prostatic urethra. From there, sperm move through the remaining segments of the urethra—the membranous and then the spongy (penile) portions—until they exit through the penis. This path—testes, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, urethra (prostatic/membranous/spongy), penis—follows the natural flow of male reproductive physiology.
