Testis and epididymis

From the mediastinum, the rete testis courses through the tunica albuginea to enter the head of the epididymis, where it is continuous with the efferent ducts. Efferent ducts are coiled to form the coni vasculosi, a major portion of the head of the epididymis. Efferent ducts anastomose to form the duct of the epididymis (not shown in this image). 10x
