Definition of accessory ducts

The accessory ducts in males helps in the storage of spermatozoa and the transport of them outside the urethra during ejaculation.

Types of accessory ducts

Accessory ducts in the human reproductive system include rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, vas deferens.

The seminiferous tubules open into rete testis which in turn opens into ducts called vasa efferentia.

Vasa efferentia leaves the testis and opens into epididymis which is located along the posterior surface of each testis. The epididymis leads to vasa deferentia.



Testis

Human male reproductive system consists of a pair of testes as the primary sex organs. Each testis is located inside a sac-like structure called scrotum.

Penis

Penis is the male external genitalia (the copulatory organ).

Ureter

Ureters are thin tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

Urinary bladder

Urinary bladder helps in the storage of urine.

Urethra

Urethra is a tube in male that carries urine from the urinary bladder to outside. It also helps in transfer of semen outside the body.

Final answer (B) rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis and vas deferens
