We surveyed our followers to see if they could guess which male reproductive organ can stretch to be several feet long... did you guess it right?

screenshot of a tweet reading: an you name this organ? This ~1.5 inch long organ made up of several feet of twisting tubes is where sperm mature and acquire the ability to swim and fertilize eggs Quiz options are vas deferens, epididymis, seminal vesicleHere’s a photo of said organ, if it helps (photo has the same text)And here’s a link to an article that is focused on this organ (image of sperm swimming to an egg)
