Artery to ductus deferens

The artery to the ductus deferens (Latin: arteria ductus deferentis) is blood vessel that arises from the anterior trunk of the internal iliac artery on each side, found in males. It supplies arterial blood to the ductus deferens, seminal vesicle, and the lower third of the ureter.

The artery to the ductus deferens descends within the composition of the spermatic cord and splits into many small branches in the ductus deferens. On its course, the artery also gives small branches to the seminal vesicle and the lower third of the ureter.
