Vasa efferentia are the ductules leading from
A
Epididymis to urethra
B
Testicular lobules to rete testis
C
Rete testis to vas deferens
D
Vas deferens to epididymis
Detailed Solution
The male accessory ducts are the rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis and vas deferens.
The seminiferous tubules of the testicular lobules open into the rete testis through the tubuli recti.
The vasa efferentia are the fine ductules that leave the rete testis, carry the sperms out of the testis and open into the epididymis, which leads on to the vas deferens.
Path of sperms: seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens.
Among the given choices, the one that starts correctly at the rete testis and leads on along this duct system is 'rete testis to vas deferens' (the epididymis lying in between); this is the answer accepted in the key.
