BackgroundSpermatozoa are transported to the epididymal duct through efferent tubules. Although the origin of the efferent tubules is thought to be mesonephric tubules (MTs), their detailed developmental process, for example, where the rete testis and efferent tubules are connected, is unclear. We investigated the structural changes of the MTs in the male mouse embryo using a three‐dimensional reconstruction method.ResultsThree to six MTs were connected to the Wolffian duct, and some of them branched, resulting in five to nine tips. Rete cells contacted the three to six tips. The MTs showed a folded shape when the gonadal fate was determined. After the testis development started, they became short and straight but emerged as long and twisting by birth. Before birth, the efferent duct was composed of MTs and a cranial portion of the folded Wolffian duct.ConclusionsThe contact between the rete testis and efferent tubules is possibly established at the tip of each MT. The MTs regress after gonadal fate is determined but is remodeled to the twisting efferent tubules by birth. The efferent tubules are composed of the MTs but also a cranial portion of the folded Wolffian duct in the mouse.
