Yes. The vas deferens are the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the urethra. The bulbourethral glands make part of the semen that carries the sperm to their destination.

Yes, there is a difference between the bulbourethral glands and the vas deferens. The bulbourethral glands are responsible for secreting a clear fluid that helps lubricate the urethra during sexual arousal, while the vas deferens is a tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra during ejaculation.
