Functions



**The epididymis** is one of the organs of the male reproductive system, which is located outside the testicles and performs important functions in the process of spermatogenesis. It consists of two parts: internal and external. The internal part is located inside the testicle and contains the spermatogenic epithelium, which produces sperm



The epididymis is an important element of the male reproductive system, which is responsible for the storage, development and transportation of sperm in men. The epididymis is located at the back of the testicles, between the bladder and the prostate. It has the shape of a long rope and is one of the largest vessels in the male body.

The middle part is called the vas deferens and serves to transport sperm from the testicles to the epididymis. The posterior part is called the efferent duct and is involved in the removal of sperm from the epididymis into the urethra.
