6. Outline the route taken from the testes by the sperm as it leaves the body
Sperm leaves the testes and travels down the sperm duct...
... which travels past/through the glands.
The glands provide the sperm cells with food so that they have energy for swimming
The sperm duct joins the urethra...
... which carries the sperm out of the body.
