Question

Which of the following depicts the correct pathway of transport of sperms?

• A. Rete testis→ Epididymis→ Efferent duct→vas deferens
• B. Vasa efferentia →Rete testis→Vas deferens→Epididymis
• C. Rete testis→ Vasa efferentia →Epididymis→vas deferens
• D. Rete testis→Vas deferens→Efferent duct→Epididymis

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rete testis→ Vasa efferentia →Epididymis→vas deferens

Sperms are the male gametes produced in the seminiferous tubules of testis.

From the seminiferous tubules, sperms are transported to the rete testis.

Rete testis transfers the sperms to vasa efferentia, also called as the efferent ductules.

From vasa efferentia, sperms are transported to the epididymis where the sperms are stored and transported to the vas deferens.

Hence the correct pathway of transport of sperms is:

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