MICROANATOMY

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: -It takes sperm around 4 to 6 weeks to travel through the epididymis, becoming fully mature, motile sperm. They are stored there until ejaculation. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland produce a whitish fluid called seminal fluid, which combines with sperm to form semen when ejaculating.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epididymis is a tortuously coiled structure topping the testis, and it receives immature sperm from the testis and stores it for several days. When ejaculation occurs, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sperm production occurs in the testis, but sperm maturation and storage take place in the epididymis.
