Vaginalis testis6
Epididymis20
  • Etiologically, secondary inflammatory changes caused by the complete or incomplete torsion of testicular or epididymis appendices or by the existence of stones in the tunica sac might be responsible for the pain. (hindawi.com)
  • It is a novel endourologic technique that explores the scrotum and easily provides a direct and clear view of the testis and epididymis. (hindawi.com)
  • The scrotal part of the processus vaginalis mostly surrounds the testis to form the tunica vaginalis, although the posterior aspect of the testis that is attached to the epididymis is not covered by the tunica. (medscape.com)
  • The deformity leads to inadequate posterior fixation of the testis to the epididymis and scrotal wall. (aafp.org)
  • The epididymis is a duct that attaches to the testis, consisting of a central portion, a head, and a pointed extremity (tail). (visiblebody.com)
  • Ducts penetrate penile fascia covering the testis and carry seminal fluid from the testis up to the epididymis, and from there the fluid enters the vas deferens. (visiblebody.com)
  • The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that stores sperm and transports it from the testes. (healthline.com)
  • Although it bears some superficial resemblance to the testes, the epididymis differs in that it is smaller, and the tubes are larger and less densely packed. (healthline.com)
  • Near the top of the testis is the head of the epididymis, which stores sperm until it is ready to undergo maturation. (healthline.com)

  • Measure distance of tumor from tunica and note whether tumor extends up to, into, or through tunica albuginea or vaginalis. (uchicago.edu)
  • Deep to the tunica vaginalis, the tunica albuginea is a tough, fibrous outer covering of the testis. (medscape.com)
  • Anteriorly and laterally, numerous imperfect septa are given off, which radiate to the glands surface and are attached to the tunica albuginea. (medscape.com)
  • The tumor infiltrated the tunica albuginea focally without disrupting it completely. (bvsalud.org)
