Seminiferous tubules - straight portion
As the convoluted portions of seminiferous tubules converge at the mediastinum, they end as short straight segments, tubuli recti, lined by modified Sertoli cells. Straight segments connect with the rete testis, lined by simple cuboidal epithelium, located within the mediastinum. 100x
