Which of the following does NOT communicate directly with the urethra?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Vas deferens
  • B
    Cowper's gland
  • C
    Prostate gland
  • D
    Ejaculatory duct

Solution

The vas deferens ascends into the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder. It receives a duct from the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. Thus, the vas deferens does not communicate directly with the urethra.

The ejaculatory duct opens directly into the prostatic urethra.

The prostate gland has numerous small ducts that open directly into the prostatic urethra.

Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands) have ducts that open directly into the spongy (penile) urethra.

Answer: Vas deferens

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
