Question

Which of the following depicts the correct pathway of transport of sperms?
A. Rete testis → Vas deferens → Efferent ductules → Epididymis
B. Efferent ductules → Rete testis → Vas deferens → Epididymis
C. Rete testis → Efferent ductules → Epididymis → Vas deferens
D. Rete testis → Epididymis → Efferent ductules → Vas deferens

Answer 1

The testes are known to be the part of the body where the sperms are produced. During the process of ejaculation the sperm are forcefully removed from the tail of the epididymis into the vas deferens. Sperm then travels through the vas deferens up to the spermatic cord into the pelvic region, over the ureter to the prostate which lies behind the bladder.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The sperms are produced in the testes. Testes have a part known as rete testis The rete testis is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules that are located in the hilum of the testicle (mediastinum testis) they also carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts.
The efferent ducts also known as efferent ductules or ductuli efferentes or ductus efferentes or vasa efferentia that connects the rete testis with the initial section of the epididymis.
Epididymis is a highly convoluted duct that is located behind the testis, along which sperm passes from the final section of the epididymis to the vas deferens
The vas deferens is also known as the ductus deferens, is a tiny muscular tube in the male reproductive system that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. There is one pair of these ducts in the male reproductive system, with one duct carrying sperm from each testis to the left and right ejaculatory ducts.

So the correct option is C.

Note: The sperm's tail contained large numbers of proton channels called Hv1 channels that respond to changes in pH and zinc concentration outside the cell. When the channels open up, protons come out of the sperm cells and then cause the pH inside the cell to rise and help the sperm to swim.
