Preferred Label : duct of seminal vesicle;
Uberon definition : Each seminal vesicle consists of a single tube, coiled upon itself, and giving off
several irregular cecal diverticula; the separate coils, as well as the diverticula,
are connected together by fibrous tissue. When uncoiled, the tube is about the diameter
of a quill, and varies in length from 10 to 15 cm.; it ends posteriorly in a cul-de-sac;
its anterior extremity becomes constricted into a narrow straight duct called the
excretory duct of seminal gland (or duct of the seminal vesicle), which joins with
the corresponding ductus deferens to form the ejaculatory duct[WP].;
