Answer:
The word urinogenital is composed of two words urine and genital. Hence, urinogenital system refers to the organs of both urinary system as well as reproductive system.
It is because because both the systems originate and develop from the intermediate mesoderm. In addition, they use common ducts (urethra) for the flow of semen (product of reproductive system) and urine (product of excretory system) outside the body.

the male reproductive system has only one opening for both urine and semen. the vas deferens unite with a duct coming to form the urinary bladder to form urethra. this structure, enclosed within the thick, muscular penis, opens through a pore and serves as the common passage for both sperms and urine. thus, the human male reproductive system is also called as the urinogenital system.
