Artery of the Sperm Efferent Duct

The spermatic duct artery (a. spermatidea deferens) is one of the arteries that supplies blood to the penis and scrotum. It originates from the internal iliac artery (a. iliaca interna) and passes through the inguinal canal to reach the scrotum.

The spermatic duct artery has two main branches: one goes to the testicle, and the other goes to the vas deferens. Each branch has its own branches that supply blood to the tissues of the scrotum and genitals.

The main functions of the artery of the seminal efferent duct are to ensure blood circulation in the genitals and participate in the formation of seminal vesicles. In addition, the efferent duct artery plays an important role in maintaining body temperature, as it transports blood containing a lot of heat to the scrotum and testicles.

With pathology of the artery of the spermatic duct, circulatory disturbances in the genital organs may occur, which can lead to various diseases, such as varicose veins of the scrotum, decreased potency and infertility. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this artery and its branches, especially if there are risk factors such as heredity, smoking, excess weight and others.



The spermatic duct artery (a. spermatica deferens) is a branch of the external iliac artery that passes through the inguinal canal and supplies blood to the spermatic duct and epididymis.

Arterial blood enters the seminal duct through the efferent duct artery, which is a branch of the external iliac artery. Blood then flows through the spermatic duct towards the epididymis and back to the testicle. The efferent duct artery is one of the important elements of the circulatory system in the male genital organs.

In case of circulatory disturbance in the artery of the efferent duct, dysfunction of the genital organs may occur and various diseases may arise, such as varicocele, hydrocele and others. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this artery and, if necessary, treat and prevent diseases.
