Question

Which one of the following is the correct route during the transport of sperm in male (human)?

• A. Vas deferens⇥Epididymis ⇥Urethra
• B. Epididymis⇥ Vas deferens ⇥Urethra
• C. Epididymis⇥Urethra⇥Vas deferens
• D. Urethra⇥ Epididymis⇥ Vas deferens

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Epididymis⇥ Vas deferens ⇥Urethra

The correct option is B:

Explanation of the correct option :

1. The vasa efferentia collects sperm from the testis and transports them to the epididymis via rete testis.
2. Sperm require several days to pass through all of these regions of the epididymis.
3. The vas deferens arise from the cauda epididymis and ascend to the abdomen, passing above the urine bladder.
4. The ejaculatory duct is formed when the duct from the seminal vesicle enters the vas deferens beneath the urine bladder.
5. Following its start in the urinary bladder, the ejaculatory duct goes via the prostate and opens into the urethra.
6. As a result, when sperm leaves a mammal's testis, it travels through Epididymis, Vas deferens, and Urethra.

Final answer: The correct route during the transport of sperm in males (human) is Epididymis⇥ Vas deferens ⇥Urethra.
