(A) Rete testis
(B) Vasa efferentia
(C) Epididymis
(D) Seminal vesicle
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (C) only
The male sex accessory ducts are the tubes that carry sperms from the testis outward. They are the rete testis, the vasa efferentia, the epididymis and the vas deferens. The seminal vesicles, prostate and bulbourethral glands are the accessory glands, not ducts.
(A) Rete testis — Correct. The seminiferous tubules open into the vasa efferentia through the rete testis.
(B) Vasa efferentia — Correct. These leave the testis and open into the epididymis.
(C) Epididymis — Correct. It lies along the back of each testis and leads to the vas deferens.
(D) Seminal vesicle — Incorrect. This is a gland that adds fluid to the semen. It is not a duct.
