"In modern anatomic nomenclature, it is no longer referred to as the vas deferens, as it may give the impression that the anatomical structure referred to is a vessel, although in classical Latin, vas may also refer to a duct ref! Confusingly, the ligation of the ductus deferentes is still referred to as a vasectomy 7."
"It curves medially and forwards, crosses above the ureter and approaches its opposite fellow. The two ducts now turn downwards side by side and each dilates in a fusiform manner to form the ampulla, the storehouse of sperm. The ampulla lies parallel and medial to the seminal vesicles at their lower ends and fuses with the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. Each ejaculatory duct passes through the prostate to open on the side of the urethral crest1,2."
"veins from vas deferens join the vesical venous plexus which in turn drains into the internal iliac veins."
