Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells:
I: male germ cells which undergo meiotic divisions finally leading to sperm formation
II: Sertoli cells that secrete the androgens

How many of the given statements regarding the male sex accessory ducts are correct?
I: The male sex accessory ducts include rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis and vas deferens.
II: The seminiferous tubules of the testis open into the vasa efferentia through rete testis.
III: The vasa efferentia leave the testis and open into epididymis located along the posterior surface of each testis.
IV: The epididymis leads to vas deferens that ascends to the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder.
V: Vas deferens receives a duct from seminal vesicle and opens into urethra as the ejaculatory duct.
VI: Ejaculatory ducts store and transport the sperms from the testis to the outside through urethra.
VII: The urethra originates from the urinary bladder and extends through the penis to its external opening called urethral meatus.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: A primary spermatocyte completes the first meiotic division (reduction division) leading to formation of two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes, which have only 23 chromosomes each.
Statement II: The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids, which have 23 chromosomes each.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis.
Statement II: After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells, and are finally released into the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
