Select the correct sequence for transport of sperm cells in male reproductive system :
- Seminiferous tubules Vasa efferentia Epididymis Inguinal canal Urethra
- Testis Epididymis Vasa efferentia Vas deferens Ejaculatory duct Inguinal canal Urethra Urethral meatus
- Testis Epididymis Vasa efferentia Rete testis Inguinal canal Urethra
- Seminiferous tubules Rete testis Vasa efferentia Epididymis Vas deferens Ejaculatory duct Urethra Urethral meatus
Answer
(4) Seminiferous tubules Rete testis Vasa efferentia Epididymis Vas deferens Ejaculatory duct Urethra Urethral meatus
Solution
As per NCERT, the seminiferous tubules of the testis open into the vasa efferentia through the rete testis.
⇒ The vasa efferentia open into the epididymis, which leads to the vas deferens.
⇒ The vas deferens ascends to the abdomen, loops over the urinary bladder and joins the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which opens into the urethra.
⇒ The urethra opens to the outside through the urethral meatus.
∴ Seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → Vasa efferentia → Epididymis → Vas deferens → Ejaculatory duct → Urethra → Urethral meatus
