prostatic urethra
Urethra
The ejaculatory duct is formed by the union of the ductus deferens and the seminal vesicle. Specifically, the ductus deferens, which transports sperm from the testes, merges with the duct of the seminal vesicle, which adds seminal fluid to the sperm. This combination occurs as they pass through the prostate gland, where the ejaculatory duct then opens into the prostatic urethra.
Semen is just seminal fluid plus semen. The path of the semen is: seminal vessicles, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra. The seminal fluid joins the semen in the ejaculatory duct. So they share the ejaculatory duct and the urethra.
The ejaculatory duct is typically around 2 centimeters in length, connecting the vas deferens to the urethra and playing a key role in the ejaculation process by transporting sperm and fluids.
The vas deferens are tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the urethra. They start at the epididymis, which is located in the scrotum, and connect to the ejaculatory ducts near the prostate gland.
ejaculatory duct
The flagellum is part of the sperm that allows it to swim, the ejaculatory duct is what brings the sperm to the urethra.
Urethra
After leaving the ejaculatory duct, sperm enters the urethra, which serves as the final passage through which sperm exits the body during ejaculation. The urethra runs through the penis and opens at the tip, allowing sperm to be expelled. Additionally, as sperm travels through the urethra, it mixes with seminal fluid from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland, forming semen.

The vas deferens carries the sperm to the ejaculatory ducts.

The epididymus leaves the testies and connects ot the Vas Deferens (also called the Ductus Deferens) which attaches to the ejaculatory duct. The ejaculatory duct is a short segment that connects to the urethra.
Semineferous tubules, straight tubules, rete testes, efferent ducts, ductus deferens (vas deferens), ejaculatory duct, prostatis urethra, membranous urethra, spongy urethra, external urethral orifice.Testes (Testis) -> Epididymis -> Vas Deferens -> Urethra.
Semen and urine travel through the urethra and out the penis.
The duct that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct is called the vas deferens. It is a long, muscular tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra during ejaculation.
