Describe the path starting from the vas deferens and ending with the urethra, including the inguinal canal, pelvic cavity, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct, urethra, bladder, prostate, and bulbourethral/cowpers.

A) Vas deferens > inguinal canal > pelvic cavity > seminal vesicles > ejaculatory duct > urethra > bladder > prostate > bulbourethral/cowpers
B) Vas deferens > bladder > pelvic cavity > seminal vesicles > prostate > inguinal canal > ejaculatory duct > bulbourethral/cowpers > urethra
C) Vas deferens > bladder > inguinal canal > pelvic cavity > ejaculatory duct > prostate > seminal vesicles > bulbourethral/cowpers > urethra
D) Vas deferens > seminal vesicles > inguinal canal > pelvic cavity > ejaculatory duct > bladder > prostate > bulbourethral/cowpers > urethra

Final answer:

The path starting from the vas deferens and ending with the urethra includes the vas deferens, inguinal canal, pelvic cavity, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory duct, urethra, bladder, prostate, and bulbourethral/cowpers glands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The path starting from the vas deferens and ending with the urethra is as follows:

  1. Vas deferens: It begins at the epididymis and extends into the abdominal cavity through the inguinal canal.
  2. Inguinal canal: The vas deferens passes through this canal in the abdominal wall.
  3. Pelvic cavity: The vas deferens continues from the inguinal canal into the pelvic cavity.
  4. Seminal vesicles: The vas deferens then connects with the ducts of the seminal vesicles in the prostate gland.
  5. Ejaculatory duct: The ejaculatory ducts form where the vas deferens join with the ducts of the seminal vesicles in the prostate gland.
  6. Urethra: The ejaculatory ducts then connect with the urethra.
  7. Bladder: The urethra passes through the prostate gland inferior to the bladder.
  8. Prostate: The urethra passes through the prostate gland.
  9. Bulbourethral/cowpers: The urethra is joined by the bulbourethral glands, also known as Cowper's glands, which secrete mucus into the urethra.
