§ 768. Vas deferens. — If the subject is a male, there will "be seen 

 on each side a white cord, the vas deferens or spermaduct (Fig. 101), 

 looping around the ventral side of the ureter and A. hypogastrica, 

 and then extending toward the urethra. 



If the vas deferens is traced peripherad, away from the urethra, 

 it will he seen to penetrate the abdominal wall laterad of the A. 

 epigastrica and ventrad of Poupart's ligament. 



In traversing the abdominal wall, it passes through the canalis 

 inguinalis. It is accompanied by the spermatic artery and vein 

 and a duplicature of peritoneum, and all together form the sper- 

 matic cord. The opening of the inguinal canal within the abdomi- 

 nal cavity is called the annulus abdominalis internus or the internal 

 abdominal ring, while the one on the ectal surface of the abdominal 

 wall is called the annulus abdominalis externus or external ab- 

 dominal ring (Fig. 39). 



From the external abdominal ring, the spermatic cord extends 

 obliquely caudad and entad of the skin to the testis.
