pseudostratified stereociliated columnar peithelium with basal cells.
The tube is highly coiled and we are seeing several cross sections of
the same tube. The lumen appears to be smooth because the columnar
cells are mostly of the same height. The wall of the epididymis
contains smooth muscle cells and connective tissue elements. Sperms are
stored in the epididymis and they undergo a maturation process are the
pass throgh this tubular organ. Original mag. 25x. Epididymis. Male
