The urethra passes through the _____ of the penis.

  • A. tunica albuginea
  • B. prepuce
  • C. corpora spongiosum
  • D. corpora cavernosa
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: corpora spongiosum. The urethra passes through the corpora spongiosum of the penis, which is a spongy tissue that surrounds the urethra. This allows for the passage of urine and semen during ejaculation. The other choices are incorrect because: A) The tunica albuginea is a fibrous covering of the corpora cavernosa, not the urethra. B) The prepuce is the foreskin that covers the glans penis, not part of the urethra. D) The corpora cavernosa are erectile tissue responsible for penile erection, not part of the urethra's pathway.
