Which organ stores sperm cells?
A
Testes
B
Epididymis
C
Penis
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -The cauda epididymis can store enough sperm for two to three normal semen samples. This is substantially less sperm than is stored in the cauda of many other species.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main function of the epididymis is to store the sperms for maturation and transport it to vas deferens.
