Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where are mature sperm stored, before they are ejaculated?
A
epididymis
B
seminiferous tubules
C
vas deferens
D
seminal vesicles
E
prostate gland
Explanation: 

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A narrow, tightly-coiled tube that is attached to each of the testicles (the male sex glands that produce sperm). Sperm cells (male reproductive cells) move from the testicles into the epididymis, where they finish maturing and are stored.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sperm maturation occurs during epididymal transit by the interaction of sperm cells with the unique luminal environment of each epididymal region.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mature sperm cells are stored in the epididymis. The epididymis is a coiled, tubular duct found behind the testes. Mature sperm remain here until they are moved to the ejaculatory ducts via the ductus deferens for ejaculation.
