Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → B, C and D only
Sperms leave the testis through a chain of ducts. The route is:
seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens → ejaculatory duct → urethra
A. Urethral meatus — Incorrect. It is not a duct. It is the external opening of the urethra at the tip of the penis.
B. Vasa efferentia — Correct. These tubes take sperms from the rete testis out of the testis to the epididymis.
C. Rete testis — Correct. The seminiferous tubules open into this network. It passes the sperms on to the vasa efferentia.
D. Vas deferens — Correct. It carries sperms from the epididymis up into the abdomen. It then joins the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct.
