Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This long muscular tube runs from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity behind your bladder and connects to your urethra through a structure called the ejaculatory duct. Your vas deferens is surrounded by your spermatic cord and transports mature sperm to the urethra before you ejaculate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vas deferens: The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder. The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation.

Detailed explanation-3: -It carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body. It also helps in the transfer of sperms to the vagina. Thus, the urethra is the common pathway for both urine and semen.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
