Deferent

Taking out (lat. deferens) - 1. Taking something away from somewhere. This word is used to refer to structures or processes that carry or transport something from one place to another.

  1. Applied to the vas deferens. The vas deferens (vas deferens) is a paired duct of the male reproductive system through which sperm from the epididymis enter the ejaculatory duct for further excretion. Thus, the vas deferens performs the function of transporting sperm from the epididymis to the external genitalia.


Efferent or Deferent (lat. deferens - efferent) is an anatomical term that is used to describe the vas deferens. This duct is part of the male reproductive system and is responsible for transporting sperm from the testicles to the urethra. The efferent duct is about 40 cm long and passes through the testes, testes and epididymis. It starts from the base of the testicle and ends in the prostate gland, where sperm are released.

The efferent duct plays an important role in the process of reproduction and fertilization. Sperm produced in the testicles pass through the efferent duct and enter the seminal vesicles, where they are stored until ejaculation. During ejaculation, sperm are expelled from the prostate gland through the urethra into the urethra.

In medical practice, protrusion can be used to describe various conditions associated with the vas deferens. For example, if the efferent duct is obstructed and sperm cannot pass through it, infertility can occur. Also, the removal can be used to diagnose various diseases, such as prostate cancer or varicose veins.
