The male reproductive system is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to produce and transport sperm. The epididymis, vasa deferens, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra are the accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation. These ducts play a critical role in the production and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.

The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. It is approximately 4 cm long and has a tightly coiled tube about 7 meters long when unraveled. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is connected to the efferent ductules of the testis, which carry sperm from the testis to the epididymis. The sperm then move through the epididymis, where they mature and become motile. The tail of the epididymis becomes less convoluted and increases in diameter, leading to the vas deferens.

The vas deferens, or ductus deferens, is a 45-cm-long tube that passes through the inguinal canal for sperm storage and transport. It curves along the lateral surface of the urinary bladder before merging with the duct from the seminal vesicles to form the ejaculatory ducts.

The ejaculatory duct is a short, 2 cm-long tube that connects the vas deferens to the urethra. During ejaculation, the seminal fluid produced in the seminal vesicles and prostate gland mixes with sperm and is expelled through the urethra.

In addition to sperm maturation and transportation, these ducts also recycle damaged sperm and absorb the fluid produced by the seminiferous tubules.
