The right deferent duct is the muscular conduit transporting sperm from the right epididymis through the spermatic cord and pelvis, generating powerful peristaltic contractions during ejaculation.
Clinical notes
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) is strongly associated with CFTR gene mutations in cystic fibrosis, presenting as obstructive azoospermia.
