Question

If the epididymis is removed from a person body then what will happen?

• A. Early maturation of sperm
• B. Late maturation of sperm
• C. Sperm will be incapable for fertilisation
• D. Life span of sperm will increase

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sperm will be incapable for fertilisation

• The vasa efferentia leave the testis and open into a narrow, tightly coiled tube called epididymis. The epididymis is located on the posterior surface of each testis.
• If the epididymis is removed from a person body then Sperm will be incapable of fertilization because epididymis provides storage space for the sperms and gives the sperms time to mature.
  
• When epididymitis is removed sperms cannot mature thus immature sperms is incapable of fertilization.
• So, the correct answer is 'Sperm will be incapable for fertilization'.
