Rete testis
The rete testis ( REE-tee TES-tis) is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules located in the hilum of the testicle (mediastinum testis) that carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts. It is the counterpart of the rete ovarii in females. Its function is to provide a site for fluid reabsorption.

rete testis
The rete testis is a network of tubules in the testes where sperm are transported from the seminiferous tubules, which produce the sperm, to the epididymis, where the sperm mature and are stored. It lies in the mediastinum testis, a network of connective tissue in the testes. This tubular network serves as a conduit for the sperm to travel, aiding in the process of spermatogenesis.
Wikidata
Rete testis
Rete testis is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules located in the hilum of the testicle that carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts. It is in the rete testis that the sperm become concentrated and other fluids are reabsorbed. If this does not occur, the sperm that enter the epididymis will not be concentrated, resulting in possible infertility. Rete tubular ectasia is a disorder of the rete testis characterized by multiple benign cysts. It is the counterpart of the rete ovarii in females.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
