Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the function of each structure in the male reproductive system: Seminiferous tubules are where sperm are produced, the epididymis is where sperm mature and are stored, the vas deferens transports sperm, the ejaculatory duct is where sperm mix with seminal fluid, and the urethra is the final passageway out of the body.
Identify the starting point of sperm production: Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules located within the testes.
Determine the path of sperm maturation and storage: After production, sperm move to the epididymis where they mature and are stored until ejaculation.
Trace the transport route during ejaculation: During ejaculation, sperm travel from the epididymis through the vas deferens.
Follow the final path out of the body: Sperm then pass through the ejaculatory duct, where they mix with seminal fluid, and finally exit the body through the urethra.
