Answer:

seminiferous tubules

Step-by-step explanation:

Seminiferous tubules are coiled tubes where sperm cells are produced by a process referred to as spermatogenesis. These tubes are located in the testes or testicles (i.e., male reproductive glands/gonads). Each testicle contains approximately 250 compartments known as testicular lobules, while each testicular lobule has 1 to 4 seminiferous tubules which converge to form a single straight tubule. Once sperm cells mature, they travel through the seminiferous tubules to be stored in a coiled tube called the epididymis.
