Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the site of sperm production in the male reproductive system, which is the seminiferous tubules located within the testes.

After sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules, it moves to the epididymis. The epididymis is responsible for the maturation and storage of sperm.

Once matured, sperm travels through the vas deferens. The vas deferens is a muscular tube that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct.

The next structure in the pathway is the ejaculatory duct. This duct is formed by the union of the vas deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicle, and it transports sperm into the urethra.

Finally, sperm is expelled through the urethra during ejaculation. The urethra is the last part of the male reproductive tract and serves as the channel for both urine and sperm to exit the body.
