Final answer:

Sperm travels from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis via the rete testis and efferent ductules for maturation and storage before ejaculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The connection from the seminiferous tubules to the epididymis is through a network of ducts. After sperm are formed in the seminiferous tubules, they move into the straight tubules and then to a meshwork called the rete testis. From the rete testis, the sperm are transported through 15 to 20 efferent ductules that cross the tunica albuginea, to the epididymis. There, sperm mature and are stored until ejaculation, when they travel through the vas deferens.
