The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct pathway of sperm transport, we can break down the process step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Sperm Production**: - Sperm is produced in the **seminiferous tubules** of the testes. This is the starting point of sperm development. 2. **Transport to Rete Testis**: - After production, the sperm moves to the **rete testis**. The rete testis is a network of tubules that collects sperm from the seminiferous tubules. 3. **Vasa Efferentia**: - From the rete testis, sperm is transported to the **vasa efferentia** (also known as efferent ductules). This structure connects the rete testis to the epididymis. 4. **Epididymis**: - The sperm then travels to the **epididymis**, where they are temporarily stored and undergo maturation. This is a crucial step for sperm to gain motility and the ability to fertilize an egg. 5. **Vas Deferens**: - After maturation in the epididymis, sperm moves into the **vas deferens**. This muscular tube transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. 6. **Seminal Vesicle**: - Finally, sperm is transported to the **seminal vesicle**, where seminal fluid is added to form semen. This mixture is essential for nourishing and facilitating the transport of sperm during ejaculation. ### Conclusion: The correct pathway of sperm transport is: - Seminiferous Tubules → Rete Testis → Vasa Efferentia → Epididymis → Vas Deferens → Seminal Vesicle. ### Answer: The correct option that depicts this pathway is **Option 1**. ---
