seminiferous tubules inside each testes and are where sperm are produced by meiosis; about 250 meters (850 feet) of tubules are packed into each testes
epididymis a tube that extends from the seminiferous tubules to the vas deferens; located outside and on top of the testes; secretes about 5% of the seminal fluid
vas deferens sperm duct which is one of the passageways of tubes the sperm travel through and connects to a short ejaculatory duct
