Anatomy

Origin

The artery arises from the superior vesical artery (usually),[1] or from the inferior vesical artery.[2]

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]
