[1 mark]

• A. vasa efferentia to the epididymis
• B. rete testis to the vasa efferentia
• C. vas deferens to the epididymis
• D. epididymis to the urethra

Answer 1

The correct option is D epididymis to the urethra

The sperms produced inside the seminiferous tubules of the testis are transported via various accessory ducts in the following order.

Seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens → urethra.

The vas deferens is an accessory duct that connects the epididymis to the urethra.

Vasectomy is a surgical method of contraception in males in which the vas deferens is tied and cut. Due to this, the sperms cannot be transported into the females during coitus. The reversibility of this method is very poor. Hence option d is correct.
