Two membranous tubes, coiled and doubled upon themselves so as to present a sacculated appearance, lying on the posterior surface of the base of the bladder with their blind posterior extremities (between which the vasa deferentia run) considerably separated. They converge toward the prostate and unite each with its corresponding vas deferens. They serve as receptacles for the semen.
