Vas deferens

Vas deferens.

As the vas deferens diverges from the spermoviduct its epithelial lining is composed of tall, ciliated columnar cells with prominent elongate vacuoles. The cilia disappear a short distance down the vas deferens, but otherwise the appearance of the cells remains the same along the length of the tube. A thin layer of connective tissue sheaths the vas deferens (Fig. 12).
