The 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.
