Contained within this section are some terms which you may come across along with a short description of what they mean.

Epididymis The very long, thin tube connecting the testis to the vas. It is 6 metres long and just 0.2 mm in diameter. Thin, flimsy and prone to rupture when pressurised (blow out). It is tightly coiled and compacted. It feels like a cap on top the rugby ball shape of the testis. The sperm matures on it’s long journey from one end of the epididymis to the other.
