Question

Choose the correct sequence of the path travelled by sperms in the testes.

• A. Rete testis $\Rightarrow$ Vasa efferentia $\Rightarrow$ Seminiferous tubules $\Rightarrow$ Epididymis
• B. Seminiferous tubules $\Rightarrow$ Rete testis $\Rightarrow$ Vasa efferentia $\Rightarrow$ Epididymis
• C. Epididymis $\Rightarrow$ Seminiferous tubules $\Rightarrow$ Vasa efferentia $\Rightarrow$ Rete testis
• D. Vasa efferentia $\Rightarrow$ Rete testis $\Rightarrow$ Seminiferous tubules $\Rightarrow$ Epididymis

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Seminiferous tubules $\Rightarrow$ Rete testis $\Rightarrow$ Vasa efferentia $\Rightarrow$ Epididymis

In the testes, sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules. From seminiferous tubules, sperm passes through the rete testis which leads into ductules called vasa efferentia (efferent ducts). Sperms from the vasa efferentia (efferent duct) enter the epididymis where they are stored until ejaculation.
