Anatomical terminology

The artery to the ductus deferens (deferential artery) is an artery in males that provides blood to the ductus deferens.[citation needed]

Anatomy

Origin

The artery arises from the superior vesical artery (usually), or from the inferior vesical artery.[citation needed]

Course, anastomoses, and distribution

It accompanies the ductus deferens into the testis, where it anastomoses with the testicular artery; in this way it also supplies blood to the testis and epididymis. A small branch also supplies the ureter.[citation needed]
