A convoluted tubule in each testis; carries sperm to vas deferens
The epididymis (plural: epididymides) is part of the male reproductive system and is present in all male amniotes. It is a narrow, tightly-coiled tube connecting the efferent ducts from the rear of each testicle to its vas deferens. ...
A special duct at the back of the testis for the storage of sperm as they mature.
A long, convoluted duct on the testis where sperm are stored. PICTURE
Sperm storage and transport tube in the testis
Coiled tubing outside the testicles which store sperm.
The organ in a man where sperm are stored, nourished and mature after production.
A coiled, tubular organ attached to and lying on the testicle. Within this organ the developing sperm complete their maturation and develop their powerful swimming capabilities. The matured sperm leave the epididymis through the vas deferens.
A system of ductules that emerges posteriorly from the testis, holds sperm during maturation, and forms a tangled mass before uniting into a single coiled duct which comprises the highly convoluted body and tail of the system and is continuous with the vas deferens
