Question:

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

Rete testis→epididymis→efferent ductules→vas deferens

Efferent ductules→rete testis→vas deferens→epididymis

Rete testis→aas deferens→efferent ductules→epididymis

Rete testis→efferent ductules→epididymis→vas deferens

Solution:

A highly convoluted tube present at the posterior side of each testis is termed as epididymis. Vas deferens serves as a connector between epididymis and ejaculatory ducts. Sperm are produced in testes and are transported from rete testes to epididymis. Sperms are stored in epididymis and are entered into vas deferens which transports them to an ejaculatory duct. The ejaculatory ducts end in urethra which passes through the penis and conducts sperm to outside the penis. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
