What carries urine and sperm to the outside of the body, but never at the same time?
A
Prostate gland
B
Epididymis
C
Urethra
D
Vas deferens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The urethra is the channel that carries the sperm (in fluid called semen) to the outside of the body through the penis. The urethra is also part of the urinary system because it is also the channel through which pee passes as it leaves the bladder and exits the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -During sexual arousal, muscles at the base of the bladder contract in order to close off the passageway from the bladder into the urethra, the tube through which urine and semen leave the body. This makes it impossible for urine to be released during ejaculation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. ASSERTION is FALSE as it is the URETHRA who forms the common passage for both the sperms and urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vas deferens (sperm duct) transports mature sperm to your urethra before ejaculation.
