Explanation

The vas deferens is a part of the male reproductive system. It is a long, narrow tube that carries sperm from the testicles, where it is produced, to the urethra, from where it is ejaculated. This tube is essential for the transport of sperm during sexual activity. If the vas deferens is blocked or cut, it can prevent sperm from reaching the urethra, leading to infertility.
