Which structure carries sperm from the testes toward the lower abdomen?

• A. Vas Deferens.
• B. Urethra.
• C. Epididymis.
• D. Seminiferous Tubules.

Answer: (A)

Moving sperm along the reproductive tract from where they’re made requires a muscular transport duct. This structure is the vas deferens, a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis up into the pelvic cavity toward the lower abdomen. Its contractions push sperm toward the urethra, especially during ejaculation. The epididymis mainly stores and matures sperm, not transport them toward the abdomen; seminiferous tubules are where sperm are produced; and the urethra is the final passage out of the body, not the initial conduit from the testes.
