A)rete testes.
B)tunica albuginea.
C)septa.
D)ductus deferens.
E)dartos muscle.

Accepted Answer

The tunica albuginea is a dense fibrous capsule that surrounds each testis. The other options (A, C, D, E) are not correct. The rete testes is a network of small tubes that connect the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis. The septa are thin partitions that divide the testis into compartments. The ductus deferens is a muscular tube that transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. The dartos muscle is a layer of smooth muscle in the scrotum that contracts or relaxes in response to changes in temperature to regulate the position of the testicles.
