Rete Testis – Class 12 | Chapter – 3 | Biology Short Notes Series PDF

Rete Testis: It is an interconnected network of small tubes located in the mediastinum of the testis. It contains sperm cells that travel from the testicle to the epididymis. The tubes from the rete testis originate from the seminiferous tubules. The seminiferous tubules are long and highly coiled channels that run from the periphery towards the mediastinum testis. Their epithelium consists of Sertoli cells that facilitate the maturation and differentiation of germ cells of mature spermatozoa.

Rete Testis

• It is dilated intra-testicular structure, a network of small tubes in the testicle that helps move sperm cells (male reproductive cells) from the testicle to the epididymis.
• Matured sperms are stored in the epididymis until the process of ejaculation.
• They are located near the arterial supply of the testis which comes from the testicular artery.
• The main function of rete testis is the collection and transfer of sperms from the testicle to the epididymis.
