Q

Decribe the Arterial Supply of testis

A

Testiular A:
* it originates from Abdominal Aorta at level of upper border of L3 Vertebra

Q

Describe venous Drainage of Testis

A

Pampiniform Venous plexus:
* Collects veins into 4-8 veins at superficial inguinal Ring
* These veins unite into 2 venae commitnates around Testicular A at Deep inguinal Ring
* these 2 Veins drain into Testicular V
* Left testicular vein ends Into renal Vein at a right angle, while Right testicular Vein ends into IVC at an acute angle

Q

Explain why Varicocele occures more commonly on left side

A
