Question

Where do sperms get matured?
A. In seminal vesicle
B. Seminiferous tubules
C. In epididymis
D. Vasa efferentia

Answer 1

The sperms (gamete cell) produced in the testis are conducted to the penis via a long - coiled tubule where maturation of sperm takes place in the male reproductive system. The process by which sperm form is spermatogenesis.

Complete answer: A long whitish mass of tightly coiled tube which connects the testes with the vas deferens is called the epididymis. It is the part of the male reproductive system where the maturation of sperms takes place. Sperms are the male gamete produced by the testis of the male reproductive system. The process which involves the formation of the male gamete called haploid spermatozoa from the germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis is called spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells play an important role in the process of spermiogenesis as the germ cells are in close contact with the sertoli cells in the testis.
-A pair of two coiled tubular glands that lie behind the urinary bladder in males is called a seminal vesicle. It is also called the seminal glands or vesicular glands. It is the part of the reproductive system which secretes fluid that partially composes the semen.
-Seminiferous tubules are the site of the production of male gametes called spermatozoa by undergoing the process of meiosis. These tubules are placed within the testis of the male reproductive system. The formation of sperm takes place by a process called spermatogenesis.
-The initial section of the epididymis is connected to the rete testis by vasa efferentia. They are also called efferent ducts. Its function is to carry the sperms away from the testis to the epididymis.
So, option C is the right answer.

Note: Vas deferens and vasa efferentia are both different parts of the male reproductive system with each one having different functions. Vasa efferentia also called efferent ducts conducts the pathway of sperms from the testis to the epididymis and vas deferens carry the sperm to the ejaculatory duct from the epididymis. Another name for vas deferens is the sperm duct.
