The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct sequence for the transport of sperm cells in the male reproductive system, we can break down the process step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Spermatogenesis in Seminiferous Tubules**: - Sperm cells are produced in the seminiferous tubules located within the testes. This process is known as spermatogenesis, where male germ cells (spermatogonia) undergo meiosis to form mature sperm. 2. **Transport to Rete Testis**: - Once the sperm are formed, they are transported to the rete testis, a network of tubules that collects sperm from the seminiferous tubules. 3. **Movement through Vasa Efferentia**: - From the rete testis, sperm move into the vasa efferentia (also known as efferent ductules), which are small ducts that carry sperm away from the testes. 4. **Storage in Epididymis**: - The vasa efferentia lead to the epididymis, where sperm are stored and matured. The epididymis is a coiled tube that allows for the maturation and nourishment of sperm. 5. **Transport via Vas Deferens**: - After storage in the epididymis, sperm are transported through the vas deferens, a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. 6. **Ejaculatory Duct Formation**: - The vas deferens joins with the duct from the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. This duct serves as a passage for sperm and seminal fluid. 7. **Urethra**: - The ejaculatory duct then opens into the urethra, which serves as the final passage for sperm to exit the body. The urethra is also a common passage for urine. ### Correct Sequence: The correct sequence for the transport of sperm cells is: 1. Seminiferous Tubules 2. Rete Testis 3. Vasa Efferentia 4. Epididymis 5. Vas Deferens 6. Ejaculatory Duct 7. Urethra
