Question

The terminal duct carrying semen from the male reproductive system to the exterior is the
A)ejaculatory duct
B)penis
C)urethra
D)ductus deferens
E)ureter

Accepted Answer

The urethra is the terminal duct that carries semen from the male reproductive system to the exterior. Both the ejaculatory duct and ductus deferens are structures that transport semen, but they do not lead directly to the outside of the body. The penis is the male reproductive organ used in sexual intercourse, but it is not a duct that carries semen. The ureter is a duct that carries urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, it is not involved in the transport of semen.
