    Glossary epididymis

    coiled tube storing and maturing sperm cells

    The epididymis is a coiled tube located at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. It plays a crucial role in the maturation of sperm cells, allowing them to gain the ability to swim and fertilize an egg.
