(N/A) $1$. Spermatogenesis: Sperms are formed in the seminiferous tubules of the testes through a process called spermatogenesis.
$2$. Transport: Sperms released from the seminiferous tubules are transported by the accessory ducts,which include the rete testis,vasa efferentia,epididymis,and vas deferens.
$3$. Maturation: During their passage through the epididymis,sperms undergo physiological maturation,gaining motility and the ability to fertilize an ovum.
$4$. Semen Formation: The secretions of the accessory glands (seminal vesicles,prostate gland,and bulbourethral glands) are essential for the maturation and survival of sperms. The seminal plasma,along with the sperms,constitutes the semen.
$5$. Hormonal Regulation: The functions of the male sex accessory ducts and glands are maintained by testicular hormones,primarily testosterone.
