The inguinal canal in males contains the spermatic cord, which includes the vas deferens, testicular artery, and pampiniform plexus. It also contains the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve and vessels, which innervate the cremaster muscle and supply blood to the scrotum. The ilioinguinal nerve is also present in the inguinal canal, providing sensory innervation to the skin of the scrotum and medial thigh. However, the inferior epigastric artery is not a content of the inguinal canal in males. It is a branch of the external iliac artery and runs superiorly to supply blood to the anterior abdominal wall.
