    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunica_albuginea_of_testis

    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) .

  3. Tunica (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunica_(biology)

    The outer layer of cells of an apical meristem. This is known as the tunica. In biology, a tunica (/ ˈ t (j) uː n ɪ k ə /, [1] UK: / ˈ tʃ uː n ɪ k ə /; pl.: tunicae) is a layer, coat, sheath, or similar covering. The word came to English from the Neo-Latin of science and medicine.

  4. Lobules of testis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobules_of_testis

    Each lobule is contained in one of the intervals between the fibrous septa which extend between the mediastinum testis and the tunica albuginea, and consists of from one to three, or more, minute convoluted tubes, the seminiferous tubules (tubuli seminiferi).

  5. Septa of testis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septa_of_testis

    The septa testis are fibrous partitions of the testis dividing the testis into compartments - the lobules of the testis.The septa are formed by extensions of the tunica albuginea - the dense fibrous connective tissue surface covering of the testis - into the substance of the testis.

  6. Tubuli seminiferi recti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubuli_seminiferi_recti

    The tubuli seminiferi recti (also known as the tubuli recti, tubulus rectus, or straight seminiferous tubules) are structures in the testicle connecting the convoluted region of the seminiferous tubules to the rete testis, although the tubuli recti have a different appearance distinguishing them from these two structures.

  7. Ovarian follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_follicle

    An ovarian follicle is a roughly spheroid cellular aggregation set found in the ovaries.It secretes hormones that influence stages of the menstrual cycle.At the time of puberty, women have approximately 200,000 to 300,000 follicles, [1] [2] each with the potential to release an egg cell (ovum) at ovulation for fertilization. [3]

  8. Mediastinum testis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediastinum_testis

    Tunica vaginalis (visceral lamina), and 12. Cavity of tunica vaginalis. Section of a testicle of a steer, blood vessels injected with red gelatine. 1 parenchyma , 2 mediastinum testis, 3 tunica albuginea , 4 tail of epididymis , 5 head of epididymis, 6 spermatic cord with convoluted testicular artery

  9. Stroma of ovary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma_of_ovary

    Stromal cells associated with maturing follicles may acquire endocrine function and secrete estrogens. The entire ovarian stroma is highly vascular. [1] On the surface of the organ this tissue is much condensed, and forms a layer (tunica albuginea) composed of short connective-tissue fibers, with fusiform cells between them.
