25
Q

describe structure of testis in detail

A

1- Tunica albuginea sends fibrous septa & divides testis into 200-300 lobules
2-each lobule has 2 seminiferous tubules
3-seminiferous tubules unite & form seminiferous ductules
4-seminiferous ductules unite & form rete testis @ mediastinum testis
5-rete testis give rise to 12-20 vasa efferentia
6-vasa efferentia form head of epididymis
7-unite & form duct of epididymis
