GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These include the vas deferens (a long tube that carries sperm out of the testes), epididymis (a coiled tube that is attached to each of the testes and is where the sperm mature and are stored), prostate gland, penis, and testes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The seminiferous tubules open into a series of uncoiled, interconnected channels called the rete testis. Ducts, or tubes, connect the rete testis to a tightly coiled tube called the epididymis. The epididymis joins to a long, large duct called the vas deferens. Each testicle is held in the scrotum by a spermatic cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ductus epidymis is a storage reservoir for spermatozoa that become matured here, and competent to fertilise ova. Fluid is absorbed here, and the epithlium is also secretory. The epithelium is pseudostratified, with long immotile ‘sterocilia’ which are in fact very long microvilli.
