Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored. The release process starts when the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.

Detailed explanation-2: -They play a role in the production of sperms. They help in the maintenance of sperms. They also play a role in storage of the sperms. During the process of meiosis, the Sertoli cells that line the seminiferous tubules undergo the process of differentiation to be converted into sperm.
