Sperm is manufactured in the testes, which are located within the scrotum. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Sperm Production and Storage
| Location | Function |
|---|---|
| Testes | Sperm are manufactured here. |
| Epididymis | Immature sperm are received, stored, and allowed to mature. |
| Deferent Duct | During ejaculation, sperm is forcefully expelled from the epididymis into this duct. |
Journey of Sperm
- Production: The testes are the primary site of sperm production.
- Maturation and Storage: Immature sperm then move to the epididymis, a coiled structure on top of the testis. Here, they mature and are stored for several days.
- Ejaculation: During ejaculation, sperm is forcefully expelled from the tail of the epididymis into the deferent duct.
