GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The epididymis is a duct-like organ that connects the testis to the vas deferens and is comprised of four anatomical regions: the initial segment, caput, corpus, and cauda. Sperm maturation occurs during epididymal transit by the interaction of sperm cells with the unique luminal environment of each epididymal region.

Detailed explanation-2: -A narrow, tightly-coiled tube that is attached to each of the testicles (the male sex glands that produce sperm). Sperm cells (male reproductive cells) move from the testicles into the epididymis, where they finish maturing and are stored.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epididymis consists of three parts: head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is located on superior pole of testis. It stores sperm for maturation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The epididymis is a tubular structure present in male reproductive system that connects the vas deference to the testicles. It is six to seven meters in length and tightly coiled in an adult male.

Detailed explanation-5: -The coiled ductus epididymis (4-6 meters in total length), collectively, is simply called the epididymis and it lies on the posterior surface of the testis. It is divided into a head (caput), a body (corpus), and a tail (cauda).
