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.

seminal vesicle (or duct) - seminal vesicle produces seminal fluid; its duct joins with the ampulla of the ductus deferens to form the ejaculatory duct
In plain english - seminal vesicle produces seminal fluid.
spermatic cord - spermatic cord contains the: ductus deferens, testicular a., pampiniform plexus, deferential a. & v. and genital br. of the genitofemoral n.; coverings of the cord are the: internal spermatic fascia (from the transversalis fascia), cremasteric muscle and fascia (from the internal abdominal oblique), external spermatic fascia (from the external abdominal oblique aponeurosis)
In plain english - spermatic cord attaches the inguinal muscle to each testicle and transports sperm from the testicle to the prostate gland.
