What connects the seminiferous tubules to the epidiymis?
Efferent ducts or ductuli efferentes (latin name). In humans this is about 15-20 small tubes connecting the head of the epididymus with the rete testis.
In the male the important function of the epididymis are?
They store sperm. The testes containing the seminiferous tubules are the sites of spermatogenesis (making the sperm cells). The epididymis stores the newly made sperm cells until they are mature and capable of being motile. If sperm are not ejected from the male reproductive system in a timely manner, the old sperm degenerate and are resorbed by cells lining the duct of the epidiymis. (McKinley, Michael. Human Anatomy. McGraw-Hill. 2008. p862).
How do the sperm cells travel through the female system?
Sperm starts at the seminiferous tubules and travels to the tubuli recti, rete testis, ductuli efferentes, ductis epidiymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicles, then through the prostate gland and to the urethra.
Where sperm are produced in the male?
The testes or testicles produce human sperm. They hang in a sack called the scrotum beneath the penis. Tubes from the testes go to the prostate gland. The prostate produces semen, a liquid, which it mixes with the sperm. It stores the semen until it ejaculates it out the penis.
