Q1. Which part of the ductus deferens joins the seminal vesicle duct?

  • Ampulla of the ductus deferens
  • Epididymal head
  • Ureteric ampulla
  • Prostatic utricle

Q2. What is the relationship of the ejaculatory ducts to the prostate?

  • They remain entirely outside the prostate
  • They traverse the prostate toward the prostatic urethra
  • They pass through the testicular mediastinum
  • They terminate in the urinary bladder

Q3. Near which landmark do the ejaculatory ducts open into the prostatic urethra?

  • Ureteric ridge
  • Seminal colliculus
  • Pectinate line
  • External urethral orifice

Q4. What structure lies between the openings of the ejaculatory ducts?

  • Prostatic utricle
  • Epididymal duct
  • Ureter
  • Bulbourethral gland

Q5. What happens to sperm immediately before it enters an ejaculatory duct?

  • It enters the urinary bladder
  • It passes through the ductus deferens and ampulla
  • It passes through the ureter
  • It passes through the prostatic utricle

Q6. Which sequence correctly traces sperm toward the urethra?

  • Epididymis to ductus deferens to ejaculatory duct to prostatic urethra
  • Ductus deferens to epididymis to ejaculatory duct
  • Epididymis to ureter to bladder to urethra
  • Testis to seminal vesicle to ureter to urethra

Q7. Are sperm produced within the ejaculatory ducts?

  • Yes, they are the main site of spermatogenesis
  • No, they primarily conduct reproductive fluid
  • Yes, they produce sperm during ejaculation
  • Yes, they replace the seminiferous tubules

Q8. What is the principal functional role of the ejaculatory ducts during ejaculation?

  • Deliver reproductive fluid into the prostatic urethra
  • Close the bladder neck
  • Store urine
  • Produce testosterone

Q9. How do ejaculatory ducts differ from prostatic ducts?

  • Both transport urine from the bladder
  • They carry different reproductive contents and arise from different structures
  • Both arise from the ureters
  • They are identical structures

Q10. Which statement about the length of the ejaculatory ducts is most accurate?

  • They are short ducts of about 2 cm
  • They are longer than the entire ductus deferens
  • They run the full length of the penis
