Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the male reproductive system's anatomy, focusing on the path sperm takes from production to ejaculation.
Identify the role of the epididymis, which is where sperm mature and are stored after being produced in the testes.
Recognize that the vas deferens is a muscular tube that transports mature sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct, which then leads to the urethra.
Differentiate the vas deferens from other structures such as the seminal vesicle, which contributes fluid to semen, and the prostate gland, which also adds fluid to semen but does not transport sperm.
Conclude that the vas deferens is the correct organ responsible for transporting sperm from the epididymis to the urethra, as it is the direct conduit for sperm during ejaculation.
