[1] While varicocele is the diagnostic term for swelling in the valveless venous distribution of the male pampiniform plexus, this embryological structure, common to males and females, is often incidentally noted to be swollen during laproscopic examinations in both symptomatic and asymptomatic females. [2]
The bulb of penis is the proximal/posterior bulged [1] end of the (unpaired median) corpus spongiosum penis. Together with the two crura (one crus on each side of the bulb), it constitutes the root of the penis. [2] It is covered by the bulbospongiosus. Proximally/posteriorly, the bulb of penis extends towards the perineal body. The bulb ...
[1] cremasteric muscle and fascia, formed from a continuation of the internal oblique muscle and its fascia. [1] internal spermatic fascia, continuous with the transversalis fascia. [1] The normal diameter of the spermatic cord is about 16 mm (range 11 to 22 mm). [2] It is located behind the tunica vaginalis. [3]
The veins emerge from the back of the testis, and receive tributaries from the epididymis. [1] They unite and form a convoluted plexus, called the pampiniform plexus, which constitutes the greater mass of the spermatic cord; the vessels composing this plexus are very numerous, and ascend along the cord, in front of the ductus deferens.
They differ in size according to their position, those in the middle of the gland being larger and longer. The lobules are conical in shape, the base being directed toward the circumference of the organ, the apex toward the mediastinum testis.
The rete testis (/ ˈ r iː t i ˈ t ɛ s t ɪ s / REE-tee TES-tis; pl.: retia testes) is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules located in the hilum of the testicle (mediastinum testis) that carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts.
The tunica albuginea is a dense, [1] [2] blue-white [3] layer of fibrous tissue surrounding the testis. [1] [4] It is the middle of three envelopes forming the capsule of the testis; it is deep to the visceral layer of tunica vaginalis, and superficial to the tunica vasculosa testis (vascular layer of testis).
The body of the penis is suspended from the pubic symphysis. [7] It has two surfaces; the dorsal and the ventral or urethral.The penile raphe runs on its ventral surface.. The body is surrounded by a bi-layered model of tunica albuginea in which a distal ligament buttresses the glans penis and plays an integral role to the penile fibroskeleton, and the structure is called "os analog", a term ...
