The testes are located in the scrotum to maintain a temperature lower than body temperature, which is necessary for sperm development. The ductus deferens carries sperm to the ejaculatory duct. The rete testis is a network formed by the seminiferous tubules. The ejaculatory ducts empty into the urethra. The membranous urethra is surrounded by the external urethral sphincter. The epididymis is not the structure that passes through the inguinal canal; it is the ductus deferens.
