______replace the epididymis in conducting sperm from testes to a short epididymal duct to the ductus deferens
Vasa efferentia
ends as a large opening before emptying into the
cloaca
ductus deferens
accessory glands
-Vasa efferentia,
-Epididymides
-Vasa deferentia
-Ejaculatory groove
-Phallus (penis)
seminal plasma is derived from
seminiferous tubules and vasa efferentia
Gonadotropic influence of LH and FSH
similar to mammals

formed at the time of sexual excitation when several folds in the ventral cloaca become engorged with lymph
Ejaculatory groove
Full testicular function results from
the combined action of FSH and testosterone
