The tubuli seminiferi recti (also known as the tubuli recti, tubulus rectus, or straight seminiferous tubules) is a structure in thetesticle connecting the convoluted region of theseminiferous tubule to therete testis , although the tubuli recti has a different appearance distinguishing it from these two structures.They enter the fibrous tissue of the
mediastinum , and pass upward and backward, forming, in their ascent, a close net-work ofanastomosing tubes which are merely channels in the fibrousstroma , lined by flattenedepithelium , and having no proper walls; this constitutes therete testis .
