Testis6

• The head of the epididymis receives spermatozoa via the efferent ducts of the mediastinium of the testis . (iiab.me)
• In reptiles, there is an additional canal between the testis and the head of the epididymis and which receives the various efferent ducts. (iiab.me)
• Spermatozoa formed in the testis enter the caput epididymis, progress to the corpus, and finally reach the cauda region, where they are stored. (iiab.me)
• Orchitis (plural: orchitides) is an infection of the testis , which is rarely isolated, and when in conjunction with the epididymis is called epididymo-orchitis . (radiopaedia.org)
• The terms testis (singular) and testes (plural) refer to the male reproductive gland (or glands), the source of spermatozoa and of the androgens, usually paired in an external scrotum in man and certain other mammals. (wordinfo.info)
• 3. In the adult, a fold of tunica vaginalis testis between the testis and epididymis. (wordinfo.info)

Sperm5

• Because sperm are initially non-motile as they leave the seminiferous tubules , large volumes of fluid are secreted to propel them to the epididymis. (iiab.me)
• This absorption creates a fluid current that moves the immobile sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis. (iiab.me)
• Sperm entering the caput epididymis are incomplete-they lack the ability to swim forward (motility) and to fertilize an egg. (iiab.me)
• During their transit in the epididymis, sperm undergo maturation processes necessary for them to acquire motility and fertility. (iiab.me)
• That's an active, motile sperm - plural spermatozoa, or just plain sperm. (ussromantics.com)

Testes1

• The structures of the male reproductive system include the testes, the epididymides, the penis, and the ducts and glands that produce and carry semen. (bccampus.ca)

Singular1

• Using a plural form will normally return a result, however, certain medical terms are optimized for their singular forms, particularly Latin-derived words. (smartimagebase.com)

Male1

• epididymides / ɛ p ɪ d ɪ ˈ d ɪ m ə d iː z / or / ɛ p ɪ ˈ d ɪ d ə m ɪ d iː z / ) is a tube that connects a testicle to a vas deferens in the male reproductive system . (iiab.me)

Tail of the epididymis1

• The tail of the epididymis is found at the inferior pole of the testis 3 . (radiopaedia.org)

Sperm from the epididymis2

• The ductus deferens , also known as the vas deferens, is a tiny muscular tube in the male reproductive system that carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct. (anatomy-medicine.com)
• the duct that transports the sperm from the epididymis to the penis. (en-academic.com)

Tightly coiled2

• The total length of the epididymis is usually 6-7 cm but it is tightly coiled and would measure 6 m if uncoiled 3 . (radiopaedia.org)
• The epididymis (plural, epididymides) is a tightly coiled mass of thin tubes that carries sperm from the testes to the ductus deferens in the male reproductive system. (anatomy-medicine.com)

Ejaculation4

• During ejaculation, sperm move out of both epididymides (plural of epididymis). (healthwisepreview.net)
• They leave the epididymis during an ejaculation via the ductus deferens. (foobrdigital.com)
• either of a pair of ducts that conduct spermatozoa from the epididymis to the urethra on ejaculation. (en-academic.com)
• Spermatozoa are stored in the seminal vesicle moving through the epididymis and the spermatic duct for eventual ejaculation with the seminal fluid. (vedantu.com)

Ductus deferens2

• Efferent ducts in the head of the epididymis unite to form a single duct in the body and tail region (globus minor), which continues as the ductus deferens . (radiopaedia.org)
• Sperm matures as it passes through the epididymis so that it is ready to fertilize ova by the time it enters the ductus deferens. (anatomy-medicine.com)

Penis2

• The penis (plural penises , penes ) is an external sexual organ of certain biologically male organisms. (wikidoc.org)
• Penii" is sometimes facetiously or mistakenly used as a plural form of "penis" instead of "penes" or "penises," its correct forms. (wikidoc.org)

Vasa deferentia1

• vas deferens - [ dɛfərɛnz] noun (plural vasa deferentia ˌdɛfə rɛnʃɪə) Anatomy the duct which conveys sperm from the testicle to the urethra. (en-academic.com)

Inguinal1

• Indirect inguinal hernias (alternative plural: herniae), a type of groin herniation , are the most common type of abdominal hernia . (radiopaedia.org)

Form3

• The deferential artery (a branch of superior vesical artery or sometimes inferior vesical artery ), a branch of the testicular artery (a branch off the aorta ), and branches of the cremasteric artery (branch off the inferior epigastric artery ) form anastomoses to supply the epididymis 5 . (radiopaedia.org)
• Using a plural form will normally return a result, however, certain medical terms are optimized for their singular forms, particularly Latin-derived words. (smartimagebase.com)
• Eclipsises' is the plural form of 'eclipse', which is an astronomical event where one celestial body passes in front of another. (word-lists.com)

Mature1

• The sperm travel to the epididymis, where they mature. (healthwisepreview.net)

Single1

• The entire mass of the epididymis is actually a single, 20-foot-long (six-meter) tubule that has been coiled upon itself so tightly that the entire mass of the epididymis is only around 1.5 inches (4 cm) long. (anatomy-medicine.com)

Term1

• Galen originally used the term to refer to what we now call the tunica, and used the term "parastates" ("standing beside") for what we call the epididymis. (radiopaedia.org)
