So we all know about the mnemonic "SEED" for the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct derivatives in the male. However, some sources list these as the mesonephric duct derivates:

Seminal vesicles
Epididymis
Ejaculatory duct
Ductus deferens


And others say:

Seminal vesicles
Epididymis
Efferent ductules
Ductus deferens


Why is there some conflict on ejaculatory duct vs. efferent ductules? Is one source simply leaving out the ejactulatory duct while the other one is considering efferent ductules as part of the epididymis?

Probably a dispute between some crappy anatomist from the South and another crappy anatomist from the North. In term of its relevancy toward Step 1, it's garbage. Just move on and keep UFAP-ing. You're doing great.
