The tubuli seminiferi recti (also known as the tubuli recti, tubulus rectus, or straight seminiferous tubules) are structures in the
seminiferous tubules to the rete testis
, although the tubuli recti have a different appearance distinguishing them from these two structures.
They enter the fibrous tissue of the
stroma, lined by flattened epithelium, and having no proper walls; this constitutes the rete testis
. Only Sertoli cells line the terminal ends of the seminiferous tubules (tubuli recti).
