Solution

The sperm-transport pathway is:

Seminiferous tubules → rete testis → vasa efferentia → epididymis → vas deferens → urethra → exterior through the penis.

Sperms formed in the seminiferous tubules enter the rete testis and pass through the vasa efferentia to the epididymis. In the epididymis, they mature and are stored. During ejaculation, they travel through the vas deferens, which joins the urethra. The urethra passes through the penis and carries semen to the exterior.
