Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary function of each structure listed in the options: Urethra, Seminal vesicle, Epididymis, and Vas deferens.
Understand that the urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body and also serves as a passageway for semen during ejaculation.
Recognize that the seminal vesicle is a gland that produces a significant portion of the fluid that becomes part of semen, but it does not carry urine.
Note that the epididymis is a coiled tube where sperm mature and are stored, but it does not transport urine or semen out of the body.
Acknowledge that the vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts, but it does not carry urine.
