Patient's question:
In daily life, I pay quite a bit of attention to my body, and my life is also quite regular. However, I don't know which part of the body sperm is produced in. Now, I want to know where sperm is located in a man's body?Doctor's answer:
Sperm is derived from the differentiation and development of spermatogonia within the epithelium of seminiferous tubules in the testes. Mature sperm sequentially pass through the following structures: seminiferous tubules → straight seminiferous tubules → rete testis → efferent ductules of the testis → the head, body, and tail of the epididymis → the testicular, inguinal, pelvic, and prostatic parts of the vas deferens → the ejaculatory duct, where they are temporarily stored in the seminal vesicles. During sexual activity, they then travel through the ejaculatory duct → the prostatic, membranous, and cavernous parts of the male urethra → the external urethral orifice → outside the body. Semen is a general term referring to a mixture of a large amount of seminal fluid, prostatic fluid, bulbourethral fluid, and sperm.
