Which tubes carry sperm directly to the epididymis?
A
Urethra
B
Seminiferous tubules
C
Vas deferens
D
Efferent ductules
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the pathway of sperm from production to maturation. Sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
Recognize that after production, sperm moves to the rete testis, a network of tubules that collects sperm from the seminiferous tubules.
Identify that from the rete testis, sperm travels through the efferent ductules, which are small ducts that connect the rete testis to the epididymis.
Note that the epididymis is where sperm matures and is stored until ejaculation.
Clarify that the urethra and vas deferens are involved in later stages of sperm transport, not in the direct transport to the epididymis.
