In rats, the branching pattern of uncoiled ductuli efferentes varied; mostly 5-8 ductuli joined in pairs and formed a single terminal ductule which joined the ductus epididymidis inside the epididymal capsule. Ciliary beat and contractions moved the luminal contents in both directions. Myoelectrical...
