Q

Enters the abdominal cavity

A

Ductus (vas) deferens

17

Empty into the urethra. Secrete a thick mucus that helps neutralize acids that remain in the urethra and also lubricates the tip of the penis

A

Bulbourethral glands

25
Q

Includes sperm and the secretions of the structures of the rest of the male reproductive tract

A

Semen
