The pampiniform plexus exits from mediastinum testis and then heads to the?

rete testis in mediastinum

Tubules converge at apex of each lobule and anastomose to form

membranous sac around the testicle

Tunica vaginalis

visceral and parietal

Tunica vaginalis TWO LAYERS

pampinform plexus

Venous drainage of the scrotum occurs through

covers testis and epididymis

Visceral layer of the tunica vaginalis covers

spermatic cord

A

transmediastinal artery

A

centripetal arteries

B

capsular artery

C

epididymis

Contains 10 to 15 efferent ductules from rete testis, which converge to form single duct in body and tail
