The seminiferous tubules are coiled structures located within the testes where spermatogenesis (sperm production) occurs. They are surrounded by Sertoli and Leydig cells that support spermatogenesis and testosterone production.
Gubernacula (A) are fetal structures involved in testicular descent.
Efferent ductules (B) connect the rete testis to the epididymis but are not located within the testicular parenchyma.
Aberrant ductules (C) are accessory ducts found outside the testis.
