Q

an extension of the internal oblique muscle that descends to the testis with the spermatic cord; contraction of the cremasteric muscle shortens the spermatic cord and elevates the testis

8
Q

anatomic structure formed by the network of ducts leaving the mediastinum testis that combine into a single, convoluted epididymal tubule; located on the posterolateral aspect of the testis; the epididymis consists of the head, the body, and the tail; spermatozoa mature and accumulate within the epididymis

Q

central linear structure formed by the convergence of multiple thin septations within the testicle; the septations are invaginations of the tunica albuginea

Q

plexus of veins in the spermatic cord that drain into the right and left testicular veins; when a varicocele is present, dilation and tortuosity may develop

Q

terminal ends of the centripetal (intratesticular) arteries that curve backward toward the capsule

A

recurrent rami

17
Q

network of channels formed by the convergence of the straight seminiferous tubules in the mediastinum testis; these channels drain into the head of the epididymis

18
Q

sac containing the testes and epididymis

19
Q

reservoirs for sperm located posterior to the bladder

A

seminal vesicles

20
Q

multiple septa formed from the tunica albuginea that course toward the mediastinum testis and separate the testicle into lobules

21
Q

structure made up of vas deferens, testicular artery, cremasteric artery, and pampiniform plexus that suspends the testis in the scrotum

A

spermatic cord

22
Q

cyst in the vas deferens containing sperm

23
Q

male gonad that produces hormones that induce masculine features and spermatozoa

24
Q

artery arising from the aorta just distal to each renal artery; it divides into two major branches, supplying the testis medially and laterally

A

testicular artery

25
the pampiniform plexus forms each testicular vein; the right testicular vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava, whereas the left testicular vein drains into the left renal vein
testicular vein
26
inner fibrous membrane surrounding the testicle
tunica albuginea
27
membrane consisting of a visceral layer (adherent to the testis) and a parietal layer (adherent to the scrotum) lining the inner wall of the scrotum; a potential space between these layers is where hydroceles may develop
tunica vaginalis
28
small membranous canal that extends from the bladder to the end of the penis
urethra
29
dilated veins in the pampiniform plexus caused by obstruction of the venous return from the testicle
varicocele
30
tube that connects the epididymis to the seminal vesicle
vas deferens
31
junction of the ejaculatory ducts with the urethra
verumontanum
