The production of the male gamete called sperm v occurs in the seminiferous tubules v located within the rete testis v Jof each testicle. Situated around these sperm factories are the v responsible for hormonal production. Once formed, male gametes are passed through an area called the v, and from here they are passed into the v. This is the first part of the v. After approximately 20 days, male gametes are mature, and following a stimulus may be propelled into the v. The end of this tube empties into the v. Anatomically, this tube is made mainly from v tissue, that aids in peristalsis to propel the male gametes on their journey.
