Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Spermatogenesis (meiosis) is the process by which sperm develop and mature. Which of the following sequences correctly describes the anatomical path of spermatozoa from formation to ejaculation?

A	. testes, vas deferens, prostate, urethra
B	testes, urethra, prostate, vas deferens
C	prostate, vas deferens, testes, urethra
D	prostate, urethra, testes, vas deferens

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Seminiferous tubules →→ Rete testis →→ Vasa efferentia →→ Epidiymis →→ Vas deferens →→ Ejaculatory duct →→Urethra →→ Vagina of female’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder. Here, the vas deferens joins with the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the urethra.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of germ cell development during spermatogenesis can be divided into five succesive stages: (1) spermatogonia, (2) primary spermatocytes, (3) secondary spermatocytes, (4) spermatids, and (5) spermatozoa.
