The left gonadal vein usually empties into (inferior aspect of) [2] the ipsilateral renal vein [2] [3]: 1144 proximally to where the renal vein crossing over the aorta. [ 2 ] The right gonadal vein typically empties directly into the (right anterolateral aspect of) inferior vena cava , joining it at an acute angle, some 2 cm inferior to the ...
The testicular vein (or spermatic vein), the male gonadal vein, carries deoxygenated blood from its corresponding testis to the inferior vena cava or one of its tributaries. It is the male equivalent of the ovarian vein , and is the venous counterpart of the testicular artery .
The testicular artery (the male gonadal artery, also called the internal spermatic arteries in older texts) is a branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies blood to the testicle. It is a paired artery, with one for each of the testicles. It is the male equivalent of the ovarian artery. Because the testis is found in a different location than ...
Male gonad (testes, left) and female gonad (ovaries, right) Males have two testicles of similar size contained within the scrotum , which is an extension of the abdominal wall . [ 1 ] Scrotal asymmetry, in which one testicle extends farther down into the scrotum than the other, is common.
The pampiniform plexus (from Latin pampinus 'tendril' and forma 'form') is a venous plexus – a network of many small veins found in the human male spermatic cord, and the suspensory ligament of the ovary. In the male, it is formed by the union of multiple testicular veins from the back of the testis and tributaries from the epididymis.
The renal veins in the renal circulation, are large-calibre [1] ... gonadal vein (left testicular vein in males, left ovarian vein in females), and 2nd lumbar vein ...
Since the left gonadal vein drains via the left renal vein, it can also result in left testicular pain [7] in men or left lower quadrant pain in women, especially during intercourse and during menstruation. [8] Occasionally, the gonadal vein swelling may lead to ovarian vein syndrome in women.
[2] [5] Venous drainage mostly parallels that of the arterial supply; [5] [2] that is, it begins as a network of smaller veins in the adventitia; with the renal veins draining the upper ureters, and the vesicular and gonadal veins draining the lower ureters. [1] Lymphatic drainage depends on the position of lymphatic vessels in the ureter. [1]
