Which of the following depicts the correct pathway of transport of sperms?
Options
- ARete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens
- BRete testis → Epididymis → Efferent ductules → Vas deferens
- CRete testis → Vas deferens → Efferent ductules → Epididymis
- DEfferent ductules → Rete testis → Vas deferens → Epididymis
Correct answer
A. Rete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens
Step-by-step solution
The pathway of transport of sperms in the human male is: Sperm is manufactured in testes. The epididymis stores the immature sperms received from testes for several days. After ejaculation, sperm is expelled from the epididymis into the deferent duct. The sperm then travels through the deferent duct into the pelvic cavity to the prostate. The vas deferens are connected to the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the urethra. Seminiferous tubules → Re
