Q

What do spermatids produce?

A

The seminiferous tubules

17
Q

Where do the seminiferous tubules pass through?

A

The rete testis to the efferent ducts

18
Q

Where does the seminiferous tubules go after the efferent ducts?

A

Into the epididymis

19
Q

What happens to the seminiferous tubules once it reaches the epididymis?

A

They go through maturation and then storage

20
Q

Epididymis

A

Is a flattened, tightly coiled tubular structure

21
Q

Where is the epididymis located?

A

On the posterior surface of each teste

22
Q

What is the epididymis continuous with?

A

With the ductus deferens

23
Q

What does the vas deferens do?

A

It transports the sperm to the ejaculatory duct

24
Q

What does the scrotum do?

A

It holds the testes

25
Q

What is the scrotum divided by?

A

By the median raphe

- septum

26
Q

Where do the testes drain?

A

Into the gonadal veins

  • the right goes straight to the IVC
  • the left goes to the left renal vein
27
Q

What happens to the epididymis as it matures?
