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 :
- conducting urine from the urinary bladder into the penis and then to the outside of the body.
- 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.
