The Epididymis: It is very long highly tortuous canal. head Attached to the testis

The Epididymis: It is very long highly tortuous canal. head Attached to the testis along the epididymial border. Function : Storage , maturation and transportation of sperms. body testicular bursa tail

Parts of epididymis : It consists of: 1 -Head: consists of number of efferent

Parts of epididymis : It consists of: 1 -Head: consists of number of efferent ductules (15 -20) which unite to form epididymal duct that continues with D. D. at tail of epididymis. 2 - Body: extends along the epididymal border of the testis. Testicular bursa (opens laterally) is formed between them. 3 -Tail: is the caudal (distal) spherical part of epididymis. It is fixed by two ligaments into : A-The tail extremity of testis by proper ligament of testis. B-The parietal layer of vaginal tunic by ligament of the tail of the epididymis.

Fixation of epididymis : a) Head → is fixed to head of testis by head efferent ductules a) Tail → is fixed by 2 ligaments as body mentioned before. tail proper ligament of the testis

Length of epididymis : It has very long tortous canal extends from 2 meters

Length of epididymis : It has very long tortous canal extends from 2 meters in cat to 75 meters in horse. Epididymis in ruminants: Its head forms a cap-like structure, which extends down the cranial border of testis to about 1/4 of its length. Its tail is rounded & directed slightly caudally. It can be easily palpated through the scrotum.

Ductus deferens: • It extends between tail of the epididymis and pelvic urethra. •

Ductus deferens: • It extends between tail of the epididymis and pelvic urethra. • It is a tortuous duct at its beginning and becomes straight gradually. P. urethra head ductus deferens Course of D.

Termination of ductus deferens • Near the end its wall thickens to form ampulla

Termination of ductus deferens • Near the end its wall thickens to form ampulla ductus deferens Ampulla is: = well developed in equines and ruminants. = poorly developed in dog and camel = absent in cat and pig. Vas deferens u. bladder b. ampulla s. v.

1 -In equines and ruminants: the duct of the ampulla unites with duct of vesicular gland ejaculatory duct opens in colliculus seminalis. Vas deferens Ampulla Ejaculatory duct Vesiculae gland Colliculs seminalis 2 - In pig: the ductus deferens and the excretory duct of vesicular gland open separately. No ampulla Colliculs seminalis Vesiculae gland 3 - In dog : there is No vesicular gland so that the ductus deferens enters the pelvic urethra alone. Ampulla Colliculs seminalis

Spermatic cord: • Spermatic cord suspends the Spermatic cord testis into the scrotum •

Spermatic cord: • Spermatic cord suspends the Spermatic cord testis into the scrotum • It contains all the structures which enter and leave the testis. • It passes through the inguinal canal

It is invested by: 1) external spermatic fascia (from external oblique abd. M. )

It is invested by: 1) external spermatic fascia (from external oblique abd. M. ) 2) cremasteric fascia& muscle (from internal oblique abd. M. ) 3) internal spermatic fascia (from transverse abd.

Contents of spermatic cord: 1 - Testicular artery. 2 - Testicular veins. 3 - lymphatic. 4 - Testicular plexus of autonomic nerves. 5 -Bundles of smooth muscles (internal cremasteric muscle ). 6 - Ductus deferens and deferential artery and vein (lies medial to spermatic cord) 7 - Visceral layer of tunica vaginalis. * The first four components form the vascular part of the spermatic cord

Scrotum - It is cutaneous pouch contains the testis, epididymis & adjacent part of

Scrotum - It is cutaneous pouch contains the testis, epididymis & adjacent part of ductus deference. - It is marked externally by scrotal raphe which indicates position of scrotal septum. Function : 1 - Protection. 2 -Thermoregulatory function. (This action takes place through external cremaster muscle and tunica dartos).

Layers of scrotum : 1 - skin __ relatively thin, well provided with sweat

Layers of scrotum : 1 - skin __ relatively thin, well provided with sweat & sebaceous glands. 2 -Tunica dartos __is fibroelastic tissue & S. M. F. is derived from superficial abdomenial fascia. It forms scrotal septum which divides scrotum into 2 pouchs 3 - Scrotal fasciae : a) External spermatic F. __dervied from aponeurosis of ext. oblique abd. M. b) Cremasteric F. & M. _dervied from internal oblique abd. M. c) Internal spermatic F. __dervied from transverse abd. Fascia 4 -Parietal layer of vaginal tunic ___continues with parietal layer of peritoneum.
