NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The epididymis consists of three parts: head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is located on superior pole of testis. It stores sperm for maturation. The body of the epididymis is a highly convoluted duct which connects the head to the tail of the epididymis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spermatozoa exit the seminiferous tubules, travel through the efferent ducts and the length of the epididymis at the end of which they are stored prior to ejaculation [2].

Detailed explanation-4: -Role in storage of sperm and ejaculant Spermatozoa formed in the testis enter the caput epididymis, progress to the corpus, and finally reach the cauda region, where they are stored. Sperm entering the caput epididymis are incomplete-they lack the ability to swim forward (motility) and to fertilize an egg.
