Part 3/5:
After their production, spermatozoa do not immediately become fully functional. Instead, they travel through the seminiferous tubules towards the epididymis. Over the span of several weeks, the spermatozoa mature within the epididymis, acquiring the necessary capabilities for motility and fertilization.
Sexual Stimulation and Ejaculation
Upon sexual stimulation, mature sperm are propelled from the epididymis through a muscular tube known as the vas deferens. This path leads them towards the ejaculatory ducts, where the final preparatory steps occur.
