Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004202
Relating to the ducts or passages through which a substance, such as a glandular secretion or waste product, is discharged from a biological structure or the body. In reproductive toxicology, the term applies to the system of ducts that transport sperm from the testes to the point of ejaculation. This system includes the epididymis, vas deferens, and ejaculatory ducts, which are sites where toxicants can affect sperm maturation and function.
