What is the function of the urethral tube in males?

Conveys urine as well as semen
Stores blood
Regulates breathing
Produces hormones

The correct answer is: Conveys urine as well as semen

The urethral tube in males serves a dual purpose, which is why the first choice is correct. It acts as a conduit for both urine and semen to exit the body. This arrangement is significant because it supports both urinary and reproductive functions within the male anatomy. The other functions listed—storing blood, regulating breathing, and producing hormones—are associated with different organs or systems in the body. The urinary bladder stores urine, the respiratory system regulates breathing, and various glands (like the testes and adrenal glands) are responsible for hormone production. Hence, the urethral tube's unique function of transporting both urine and semen sets it apart from those other processes.
