The region where the ejaculatory ducts enter the urethra is known as what landmark?

• A. Verumontanum
• B. Prostatic Urethra
• C. Membranous Urethra
• D. Spongy Urethra

Answer: (A)

The ejaculatory ducts drain into the prostatic urethra at a specific landmark inside the prostate called the verumontanum (also known as the seminal colliculus). This raised fold on the posterior wall of the prostatic urethra is where the openings of the ejaculatory ducts are located, making it the key reference point for identifying their entry into the urethra on imaging or during endoscopic exam. The prostatic urethra is the portion that runs through the prostate; the membranous urethra is the short segment through the urogenital diaphragm; the spongy (penile) urethra runs through the penis. Because the verumontanum marks the exact site the ejaculatory ducts enter the urethra, it is the correct landmark.
