A Path for Reproduction
Function:
The vas deferens is a firm tube (the size of a strand of spaghetti) that transports sperm from the epididymis. In the scrotum, other structures, such as muscle fibers, blood vessels, and nerves, also travel along with each vas deferens and together form an intertwined structure, the spermatic cord.
Fun Fact:
The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra, the tube that carries urine or sperm to outside of the body, in preparation for ejaculation.
