What is the accurate scientific name of the tube after the epididymus? A female friend of mine thinks it is the seminal duct, but I think it is spermatic duct because the testicles produce sperm not semen, and if the tube is only transporting sperm then must be spermatic duct. The problem is that different sources on the Internet say different things!!! Who is right and where can I find a reliable and accurate source so I can show to my friend?
Thank you.

Sounds to me like you are talking about the VAS DEFERENS
It could be called a spermatic duct if you must, but most anatomists and doctors call it the vas deferens. The "spermatic cord", which is what I think you are thinking of contains the vas deferens and some blood vessels.
The semen bit comes afterwards when the seminal vesicles add their fluid.
