Facilitates the production of viable sperm
Around 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
Testes - ANSWER: Develop near the kidney and normally descent into the scrotum before birth
Each of the two testes is divided into lobes that contain several seminiferous tubules in which
spermatogenesis takes place.
Sperm travel from the seminiferous tubules and through the rete testis and enter the epididymis
Epididymis - ANSWER: Coiled, tube-like structure on the posterior surface of each testis, inside which
sperm complete their maturation
Ductus Deferens - ANSWER: Vas deferens (Highway for Sperm)
Extends from the epididymis into the abdominal cavity
In the abdominal cavity, it extends over the urinary bladder, where it joins with the ejaculatory duct
