The testicles are very sensitive to impact and injury. The pain involved travels up from each testicle into the abdominal cavity, via the spermatic plexus, which is the primary nerve of each testicle. [31] This will cause pain in the hip and the back. The pain usually fades within a few minutes. Testicular torsion is a medical emergency. This ...
The tunica vaginalis is a pouch of [2] serous membrane [3] within the scrotum that lines the testis and epididymis (visceral layer of tunica vaginalis), and the inner surface of the scrotum (parietal layer of tunica vaginalis).

A diagram of the major components of an adult human testicle, including the following numbered items: 1. Tunica albuginea, 2. Septula testis, 3. Lobulus testis, 4.
The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis , is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia .
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).
Longitudinal section through the left side of the scrotum and the left testis (seminiferous tubules visible in center, but not labeled). Seminiferous tubule (transverse section). Photomicrograph of section through rat testis, showing seminiferous tubules.
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.
