Which structure carries urine and semen in male anatomy?

• A. Urethra
• B. Bladder
• C. Ureter
• D. Penis

Answer: (A)

The urethra acts as the conduit for both urine and semen in males. It runs from the bladder through the penis and out of the body. Urine passes through the urethra during urination, while during ejaculation semen is propelled into the urethra and then exits through the penis. The other structures have different roles: the ureter transports urine from the kidneys to the bladder; the bladder stores urine; the penis is the external organ that houses the urethra but is not the passage itself.
