Intratesticular ducts
The rete testis is a network of anastomosing channels receiving sperm from the straight portions of the seminiferous tubules. The rete is lined by a simple cuboidal epithelium, each cell possessing a single flagellum. Rete channels exit from the mediastinum, pass through tunica albuginea and connect with efferent ducts in the head of the epididymis. 200x
