Cover: A drawing showing the morphological connections of rete testis, efferent ductules,
and the epididymis. Approximately 4 to 7 proximal efferent ductules exit the
rete testis and form highly convoluted ductules that merge in the conus region. The
small, highly coiled common efferent ductule enters the capsule of the epididymis
and abruptly changes into the larger initial segment of the epididymis. See
Oliveira et al on p 590.
