Then it begins trip down the tube towards uterus, reaching it in about. Egg propelled by cilia, hairlike structures at end of fallopian tube. Sperm manufactured in seminiferous tubules or testes then collected and stored in epididymis. During ejaculation, they move up and over the top of the bladder in the vas deferens; then they travelled down through the ejaculatory duct, mixed with seminal fluid and went out through the urethra.
