Sperm are Moved Along the Ductus Deferens (Vas Deferens) By

Question

Sperm are moved along the ductus deferens (vas deferens) by
A) hydrostatic force.
B) ciliary action.
C) peristaltic contractions.
D) suction.
E) hydraulic action.

Accepted Answer

The movement of sperm along the ductus deferens is primarily due to peristaltic contractions of the smooth muscle in the wall of the duct, which propel the sperm onwards towards the ejaculatory duct. Hydrostatic force, suction, and hydraulic action do not play significant roles in this process, and ciliary action is not present in the ductus deferens.
