Pathway of sperm
|
Sperm=testes
Sperm travels to epididymis Sperm send from epididymis=deferent duct Sperm travels from the deferent duct up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder. Vas deferens joins with the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the urethra. When ejaculation occurs, rhythmic muscle movements propel the sperm forward. |
