Detailed explanation-1: -When the sperm leave the testes, they are immature and incapable of fertilizing ova. They complete their maturation process and become fertile as they move through the epididymis. Mature sperm are stored in the lower portion, or tail, of the epididymis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The testes are where sperm are manufactured in the scrotum. 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-3: -The sperm subsequently pass into the epididymis, a coiled tube overlying the testis, where they undergo further maturation and are stored.
