• Source: Artery to the ductus deferens

    • The artery to the ductus deferens (deferential artery) is an artery in males that provides blood to the ductus deferens.


    Anatomy




    = Origin

    =
    The artery arises from the superior vesical artery (usually), or from the inferior vesical artery.


    = Course, anastomoses, and distribution

    =
    It accompanies the ductus deferens into the testis, where it anastomoses with the testicular artery; in this way it also supplies blood to the testis and epididymis. A small branch also supplies the ureter.
