Estos tabiques forman de 250 a 400 lobulos con forma de cuna que constituyen los tubulos seminiferos (aproximadamente 840 por testiculo), los cuales a su vez se unen para formar los tubulos rectos que entran en el mediastino formando una red de conductos dentro del estroma testicular, llamada rete testis, la cual termina en 10 a 15 conductos eferentes en la parte superior del mediastino y transporta el liquido seminal hasta el epididimo (figura 1).
