Question

A single highly coiled tube where sperms are stored, get concentrated and mature is known as

• A. Epididymis
• B. Vas efferentia
• C. Vas deferens
• D. Seminiferous tubule

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Epididymis

The correct option is A:

Explanation of the correct option :

1. The male reproductive system includes the epididymis.
2. The epididymis is a tube that stores the sperm generated in the testes.
3. Sperm is produced in the testes seminiferous tubules and transferred to the epididymis via efferent ductules for storage and maturation.
4. Sperms travel from the epididymis to the vas deferens, which carry them to the ejaculatory duct.

Explanation of the incorrect option :

Option B:

1. Vasa efferentia emerge from the testis, open into the epididymis, and transport spermatozoa from the testis, whereas vas deferens is a partly coiled thick muscular tube that emerges from each epididymis.

Option C:

1. The ductus deferens, also known as the vas deferens, is a long, muscular tube that runs from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity and immediately below the bladder in men.

Option D:

1. Germination, maturation, and transportation of sperm cells take place in seminiferous tubules within the male testes.

Final answer: A single highly coiled tube where sperms are stored, get concentrated and mature is known as Epididymis.
