Final answer:

The structures through which sperm passes from the testes are the epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure through which sperm passes from the testes in order is as follows:

  1. Epididymis: This comma-shaped structure lies along the top and posterior portion of the testes and is the site of sperm maturation.
  2. Vas deferens (or ductus deferens): This duct carries the sperm from the epididymis behind the bladder and forms the ejaculatory duct with the duct from the seminal vesicles.
  3. Ejaculatory duct: This duct is formed by the union of the vas deferens and the duct from the seminal vesicles and carries the sperm towards the urethra.
  4. Urethra: The urethra is the final pathway through which sperm leaves the body during ejaculation.
