Where are the newly formed sperm
cells stored while they complete their maturation? (A) In the seminal vesicles. (B) In the seminiferous
tubules. (C) In the epididymis. (D) In the penis. (E) In the vas deferens.
Here’s a diagram that shows the
male reproductive system. Sperm are produced in the testes,
which then travel through the vas deferens to eventually exit through the urethra
during ejaculation.
If we zoom in, we can see a diagram
of a testis. Sperm are produced by the
seminiferous tubules. The sperm are then transported to
the coiled tube called the epididymis. It is here that the sperm are
stored and complete their maturation until ejaculation.
Therefore, the correct answer is
(C): in the epididymis.
