Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0005192


An artery in males that provides blood to the vas deferens. The artery usually arises from the anterior trunk of the superior vesical artery. It accompanies the vas 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 supplies the ureter[WP]. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artery_to_the_ductus_deferens ]
