Spermatophore, a mass of spermatozoa, a sperm sac passed between reproductive partners. [1] Spermatheca, an organ in females that stores sperm for later use, the sperm sac. [2] Milt, sperm sacs, large sacs containing large amounts of matured sperm. [3] [4] Epididymis, a part of the extended testes region that stores sperm, the sperm sac. [5] [6]
It carries with it the ductus deference, which are testicular vessels and nerves, a portion of the abdominal muscle, and lymph vessels. All of the structures remain attached to the testis and form what is known as the spermatic cord. By the time the testis is in the scrotal sac, the gubernaculum is no more than a remnant of scar like tissue. [10]
The visceral layer of tunica vaginalis of testis (lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis) [4] is the portion of the tunica vaginalis that covers the testis and epididymis. It is the superficial-most of the three layers that constitute the capsule of the testis, with the tunica albuginea of testis situated deep to it.
A testicle or testis (pl. testes) is the gonad in all male bilaterians, including humans, and is homologous to the ovary in females. Its primary functions are the production of sperm and the secretion of androgens, primarily testosterone. The release of testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland.
In animals (including humans), the male sex organs include the testicles, epididymides, and penis; the female sex organs include the clitoris, ovaries, oviducts, and vagina. The testicle in the male and the ovary in the female are called the primary sex organs. [1] All other sex-related organs are known as secondary sex organs.

In many species, the vas deferens ends in a small sac for storing sperm. [ 21 ] The only vertebrates to lack any structure resembling a vas deferens are the primitive jawless fishes , which release sperm directly into the body cavity, and then into the surrounding water through a simple opening in the body wall.
