internal mucosal lining consisting of pseudostratified columnar epithelium (which bears the non-motile stereocilia).

The vas deferens has the greatest muscle-to-lumen ratio of any hollow organ.

Function

During ejaculation, the smooth muscle in the walls of the vas deferens contracts reflexively, thus propelling the sperm forward. This is also known as peristalsis.
