What is the advantage of the descent of testes in humans from the lower abdomen to the scrotum?

1. Better thermo-regulation leading to effective spermatogenesis
2. Ease of transport of the sperms to the urethra
3. More storage space for sperms
4. A decrease in the risk of prostatic hypertrophy

After leaving the testes, spermatozoa pass sequentially through the :

1. seminiferous tubule, rete testis, efferent ductule, and epididymis
2. epididymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicle, and ejaculatory duct
3. membranous urethra, prostatic urethra, and spongy urethra
4. epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct, and urethra
