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 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.

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. This is because of the differences in the vasculature's anatomy. [1]

The central territory of the scrotum receives blood through the terminal branches (septal arteries) of the two main scrotal arteries, themselves extensions of the pudental and perineal arteries, that run deeply on both sides of the scrotal septum. A separate branch of the perineal artery has also been shown to vascularize the scrotal raphe. [2]
