Sperm production occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. After production, sperm move to the rete testis (a network of tubules in the testis). From the rete testis, they enter the efferent ductules (which carry sperm from the rete testis to the epididymis). After maturation in the epididymis, during ejaculation, sperm travel through the vas deferens (a long muscular duct). Then they pass through the ejaculatory duct (formed by the union of the vas deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicle). Finally, sperm exit through the urethra.
