Epididymis: head
At higher magnification, the abrupt junction of the rete testis (right) with the efferent ductule (left) shows the contrast of the simple cuboidal epithelium of the rete with columnar epithelium of the efferent ductule. This connection results from the end-on fusion of two distinct embryological structures during development. 400x
