Head of epididymis >
The head of the epididymis is composed of the efferent ducts coiled into cone shapes (coni vasculosi) and the beginning of the duct of the epididymis (not shown in this image).
- Efferent ducts >
The efferent ducts are coiled into 12-20 cone-shaped structures, the coni vasculosi, composed of the efferent ducts, as well as the connective tissue and abundant vasculature surrounding them. The apex of each cone faces the testis; each base faces the posterior surface of the epididymis.
