MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm undergo final maturation during their passage through the epididymis (which can last up to 14 days) where they acquire motility and the ability to fertilize an egg. Additionally, the epididymis protects the sperm from harmful substances such as xenobiotics and oxygen radicals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mature sperm is stored in the epididymis – the coil-like structure that runs across the top of each testicle. Sperm can remain in the epididymis for about two weeks before being delivered up as ejaculate, or broken down and reabsorbed by the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sperm move into the epididymis, where they complete their development. The sperm then move to the vas deferens (VAS DEF-uh-runz), or sperm duct. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland make a whitish fluid called seminal fluid, which mixes with sperm to form semen when a male is sexually stimulated.
