GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm then travels through the deferent duct through up the spermatic cord into the pelvic cavity, over the ureter to the prostate behind the bladder. Here, the vas deferens joins with the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct, which passes through the prostate and empties into the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a vasectomy is performed, each vas deferens is cut and cauterized (sometimes sutured closed) to prevent sperm from leaving the epididymis (figure 1). This way, no sperm are expelled from the penis at the time of ejaculation. (See “Vasectomy".) Who should consider a vasectomy?

Detailed explanation-3: -The vas deferens carry sperm from testicles to the urethra. The urethra is the tube inside the penis.

Detailed explanation-4: -After my vasectomy where do the sperm go? A. The sperm, which are made in the testicles, cannot pass through the vas deferens once they have been cut and tied, so they are reabsorbed by the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sperm move into the epididymis, where they complete their development. The sperm then move to the vas deferens (VAS DEF-uh-runz), or sperm duct. The seminal vesicles and prostate gland make a whitish fluid called seminal fluid, which mixes with sperm to form semen when a male is sexually stimulated.
