If for some reason the vasa efferentia in the human reproductive system get blocked, the gametes will not be transported from
A Vagina to uterus
B Testes to epididymis
C Epididymis to vas deferens
D Ovary to uterus

Detailed Solution

The male accessory ducts are the rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis and vas deferens.
Path of sperms: seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens → ejaculatory duct → urethra.
The vasa efferentia leave the testis and open into the epididymis, which lies along the posterior surface of each testis.
If the vasa efferentia are blocked, sperms cannot pass from the testis to the epididymis.
Hence the gametes will not be transported from testes to epididymis.
