In teleosts, there is a distinct sperm duct, separate from the ureters, and often called the vas deferens, although probably not truly homologous with that in humans. [21] The vas deferens loops over the ureter in placental mammals, but not in marsupial mammals. [22] [23]
Each ejaculatory duct is formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle. [2] They pass through the prostate, and open into the urethra above the seminal colliculus. During ejaculation, semen passes through the prostate gland, enters the urethra and exits the body via the urinary meatus. [3]
In a male, they develop into a system of connected organs between the efferent ducts of the testis and the prostate, namely the epididymis, the vas deferens, and the seminal vesicle. The prostate forms from the urogenital sinus and the efferent ducts form from the mesonephric tubules .

Tail end of human embryo, from eight and a half to nine weeks old. 1 - 7: Homologous male and female pelvic organs. Diagrams that show the development of male and female organs from a common precursor.
The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia. Each testicle develops in the lower ...
The inferior vesical artery is distributed to the trigone and inferior portion of the urinary bladder, the ureter, prostate, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles.vas deferens. The branches to the prostate communicate with the corresponding contralateral vessels. [3]
