Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the main function of the male reproductive system, which is to produce, maintain, and transport sperm and protective fluid (semen).
Understand the role of the vas deferens: it is a muscular tube that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation.
Recognize the function of the urethra in the male reproductive system: it serves as a conduit for sperm to be expelled from the body during ejaculation, as well as for urine to exit the body.
Differentiate between the ureter and the urethra: the ureter is part of the urinary system, transporting urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and is not involved in sperm transport.
Evaluate the options given: the vas deferens and urethra are the correct tubes involved in sperm transport, while the other options include structures not directly responsible for this function.
