Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rete testis is a network of tubes where spermatozoa are collected after they are produced by the seminiferous tubules. From the rete testis, spermatozoa are transported to the epididymis where they mature and become capable of fertilization. Scarring of the rete testis would interfere with the delivery of spermatozoa to the epididymis, affecting fertility. It would not directly affect testosterone secretion, spermatogenesis regulation, ejaculation, or semen pH.
