Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sperm first travel through the ductus deferens, which enlarges into the ampulla of the ductus deferens, and then join with seminal fluid from the seminal gland and prostate gland in the ejaculatory duct before emptying into the urethra. The epididymis is the site of sperm maturation and storage but is not part of the ductal pathway leading to the urethra. Seminal glands and prostate gland contribute to seminal fluid but are not part of the ductal pathway for sperm.
