After the epididymis, spermatozoa travel through the vas deferens, which is a muscular tube that carries them from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. During this journey, sperm may mix with seminal fluid from seminal vesicles and prostate gland, forming semen. Finally, during ejaculation, the semen is expelled through the urethra.
Spermatozoa (sperm) are formed in the testes and mature in the epididymis.
Mature spermatozoa are stored and become motile within the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the top and behind each testicle. The epididymis allows the spermatozoa to further mature and gain motility before they are ejaculated during sexual activity.
The locomotion of the flagellum produces motility.
The spermatozoa is formed in the testis and is stored in the epididymis. While traveling through the epididymis the sperm mature and gain motility and the ability to fertilize.
The coiled tube that aids in the maturation of spermatozoa is the epididymis. This structure is located adjacent to the testes and is responsible for storing and transporting sperm while they undergo maturation processes, such as acquiring motility and gaining fertilizing ability.

Lays against the back wall of the testicle and stores sperm
The coiled tube that aids in the maturation of spermatozoa is the epididymis. This structure is located adjacent to the testes and is responsible for storing and transporting sperm while they undergo maturation processes, such as acquiring motility and gaining fertilizing ability.
The coiled tube that lies behind the testes is called the epididymis. The epididymis is the part of the male's reproductive system that stores and transports the spermatozoa.
Epididymis
The coiled tube you are referring to is the epididymis. It is responsible for storing and maturing sperm produced in the testes. The epithelial lining of the epididymis helps in sperm maturation by providing nutrients and proteins essential for their motility and fertility.
The production of spermatozoa occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Within these tubules, specialized cells called Sertoli cells support the development of sperm cells through a process known as spermatogenesis. Once matured, spermatozoa are stored in the epididymis until ejaculation.
Spermatozoa are the male reproductive cells produced in the testes, while sperm refers to the mature, motile form of spermatozoa. Spermatozoa have a head, midpiece, and tail, while sperm only consists of the head and tail. Spermatozoa are immotile and need to mature in the epididymis to become sperm, which are motile and capable of fertilizing an egg.
The coiled duct which provides for storage, transit and maturation of spermatozoa on top of the testes that carries the mayure sperm is called the epididymis. The epididymis measures about 6 to 7 meters long in males.
