Ductus Deferens
nWhen sperm leave the
epididymis, they enter the ductus deferens,
also called the vas deferens.
nThe ductus deferens
is a thick-walled tube that travels within the spermatic cord, through
the inguinal canal, and within the pelvic
cavity before it reaches the prostate gland.
nThe ampulla of the ductus deferens unites with the proximal region of the seminal vesicle to form the terminal
portion of the reproductive
duct system, called the ejaculatory duct.
