15.30 Epididymis

Version française

Section of the tail of the epididymis of a monkey.

This large epididymal duct shows the accumulation of spermatozoa (Sz) in its lumen.

The epithelium (E) of the duct is similar to that of the body of the epididymis.

The limiting membrane (M) surrounding this duct, composed of myoid cells, is thicker than the one of the epididymal duct from the head and body of the epididymis.
