The artery to the ductus deferens (deferential artery) is an artery in males that provides blood to the ductus deferens.[citation needed]
Anatomy
[edit]Origin
[edit]The artery arises from the superior vesical artery (usually),[1] or from the inferior vesical artery.[2]
Course, anastomoses, and distribution
[edit]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.[citation needed]
