Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the correct path of a sperm leaving the testis?
A
Rete testes-seminiferous tubules-efferent ductules-epididymus vas deferens
B
Seminiferous tubules-Rete testes-efferent ductules-Epididymus-vas deferens
C
Epididymus-Rete testes-seminiferous tubules-Efferent ductules-vas deferens
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When stimulated, the mature sperms are transported into the vas deferens through smooth muscle contractions. Hence, the correct answer is ‘Rete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Epididymis →→ Vas deferens →→ Urethra’.

Detailed explanation-3: -The structure on top of the seminiferous tubules in the testes is the epididymis. The sperm migrate from of the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis. Within the epididymis, the sperm mature while they are stored in this structure. The ejaculation process begins as the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.
