Sperm cells (male reproductive cells) move from the testicles into the epididymis, where they finish maturing and are stored. A crescent-like structure located adjacent to the testis. It consists of a single highly coiled duct and is divided into 3 regions: caput (head), corpus (body) and cauda (tail). |
