Which sequence correctly describes the route sperm take through the human male reproductive system?

Correct answer: B. Epididymis, vas deferens, urethra

  • A. Vas deferens, urethra, epididymis
  • B. Epididymis, vas deferens, urethra
  • C. Epididymis, urethra, vas deferens
  • D. Urethra, epididymis, vas deferens

Explanation

The correct sequence of sperm transport is: Epididymis → Vas deferens → Urethra. Sperm is stored and matured in the epididymis, then it travels through the vas deferens during ejaculation, and finally exits the body through the urethra. The other options are incorrect because they either misplace the sequence or start with an incorrect part of the pathway.
