What is the small tube that transports sperm from each testis to the prostatic urethra?

• A. Vas Deferens
• B. Epididymis
• C. Urethra
• D. Ejaculatory Duct

Answer: (A)

The vas deferens is the muscular tube that carries sperm from the tail of the epididymis toward the prostatic urethra. It travels within the spermatic cord, passes through the inguinal canal, loops over the bladder, and joins with the seminal vesicle duct to form the ejaculatory duct, which then empties into the prostatic urethra. The epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored before moving into the vas deferens; the urethra is the final passage for urine and semen; the ejaculatory duct is the short channel that delivers semen into the prostatic urethra after merging with the seminal vesicle duct.
