Artery Sperm External

The external spermatic artery (a. spermatica externa) is a large artery that passes through the inguinal canal and supplies blood to the genitals and scrotum. It is a branch of the abdominal aorta and passes through the inguinal canal along with other blood vessels.

The external spermatic artery begins from the abdominal aorta in the region of the xiphoid process and passes through the pelvic cavity. In the area of ​​the inguinal canal, the artery is divided into two branches: internal and external. The internal branch continues into the scrotum through the vaginal canal, and the external branch emerges from the inguinal canal and runs along the anterior thigh.

The function of the external spermatic artery is to supply blood to the genital organs and scrotum. It is also involved in the formation of the spermatic cord and the transfer of oxygen to sperm. Poor circulation in this artery can lead to various diseases, such as varicose veins of the spermatic cord, testicular atrophy and others.

To prevent diseases associated with the external spermatic artery, you need to monitor your health and lead a healthy lifestyle. It is also necessary to undergo regular medical examinations and consult a doctor at the first signs of illness.
