Solution

The correct option is B

Seminiferous tubules→ Rete testis→ Vasa efferentia→ Epididymis→ Vas deferens→ Ejaculatory duct→ urethra→ urethral meatus


The correct option is B.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. The testis, epididymis, urethra, vas deferens, prostate gland, seminal vesicle, and penis are the primary male reproductive organs.
  2. The testis is made up of seminiferous tubules, which are coiled structures that serve as sperm production locations.
  3. The structure in the epididymis sits on top of the seminiferous tubules.
  4. Sperms are transported from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis.
  5. Sperms are kept in these structures until they are ejaculated.
  6. The sperms are ejaculated in the female vagina during sexual intercourse.
  7. The sperm swims through the cervix with the aid of fertile cervical mucus before entering the uterus.

Final answer: The correct sequence for the transport of sperm cells in the male reproductive system is

Seminiferous tubules→ Rete testis→ Vasa efferentia→ Epididymis→ Vas deferens→ Ejaculatory duct→ urethra→ urethral meatus
