To answer this, we need to identify the anatomical structures associated with the penile urethra. 2. **Definition of Penile Urethra**: The penile urethra is a part of the male urinary and reproductive system. It is responsible for the passage of urine and semen out of the body. 3. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Corpora cavernosa - B) Corpus spongiosum - C) Corpus callosum - D) Corpus striatum 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Corpora cavernosa**: This is a pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue that contain most of the blood in the penis during an erection. However, the urethra does not traverse through this structure. - **Option B: Corpus spongiosum**: This is a column of erectile tissue that surrounds the penile urethra and extends to the tip of the penis. The penile urethra runs through this structure. - **Option C: Corpus callosum**: This is a structure in the brain that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. It is not related to the penile urethra. - **Option D: Corpus striatum**: This is a part of the brain involved in motor control and does not pertain to the urethra. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option B: Corpus spongiosum**, as the penile urethra traverses through this structure. **Final Answer**: The penile urethra in males traverses through **Corpus spongiosum**. ---
