General information
An elongated structure connected to the posterior surface of the testis, consisting of the head of the epidymis, body of epidymis, and tail of epidymis, which turns sharply upon itself to become the ductus deferens; the main component is the very convoluted duct of the epidymis which in the tail and the beginning of the ductus deferens is a reservoir for spermatozoa; the epidymis transports, stores, and matures spermatozoa between testis and ductus deferens
