Question

why male reproductive system is called as urinogenital system?

Answer 1

because there is a single route for both urine and semen...hence called urinogenital system

Answer 2

The male reproductive organ, vas deferens fuses  to the urinary organ, urethra.

Explanation:

• In males, the vas deferens, the muscular tube that carries sperm from the epidydimis of the testes, fuses into the male urethra.
• The male urethra originates from the base of the kidney and ends in the penis.
• The urethra is required for :

1. conducting urine from the urinary bladder into the penis and then to the outside of the body.
2. carrying semen containing sperm, delivered by the testes, from the vas deferens into the penis and then into the female vagina during copulation.

• As the urethra is responsible for both reproductive and excretory process, it is said to be a part of urinogenital system.
