Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Epididymis.
Key Points
- Sperm are temporarily kept in Epididymis.
- Each sperm cell takes between 65-75 days to form and around 300 million are produced every day.
- Inside the testes, sperm is made in structures called the seminiferous tubules.
- At the top and to the back of each testicle (testis) is the epididymis, which stores sperm.
- Hence, option 1 is correct.
Additional Information
- In mammals, sperm cells are produced in the seminiferous tubules of each testis.
- These sperm cells leave the testes and pass into a larger coiled tube known as the epididymis.
- The sperm cells attain maturity in the epididymis.
- The sperm cells are stored in this structure till they are ejaculated.
- During ejaculation, the sperms pass from the epididymis into the vas deferens and are ejaculated with the semen through the penis.
