  • A: Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines the inside of the vas deferens

    B: Three muscle layers of the vas deferens
  • A: Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. The epithelium contains less and less stereocilia the father away it gets from the epididymis.

    B: Three muscle layers surround the outside of the vas deferens to aid in propulsion of the ejaculate
  • A: Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium

    B: Muscularis externa
  • A: Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines the inside of the epididymis.

    B: Spermatazoa are visible in the lumen of the epididymis.
  • A: Stereociliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
