What is the tubular region of the testis called?
The Vas Deferens.
What is produced in the testis?
The testis produce the male androgen testosterone.
SPermatogenesis occurs in the?
Testis.
Testis-determining factor is found in or on?
Testis-determining factor (TDF) is found on the Y chromosome of mammals. It is a gene called SRY (sex-determining region Y) that plays a crucial role in the development of testes and the determination of male sex characteristics.
Explain the importance of having the testis located in the scrotal sacwhich is outside the abdonimal cavity among male mammals?
It keeps the testis one or two degrees cooler than the rest of the body. This is important because the sperm made in the testis prefer the cooler temperature. You'll notice that if you go into a cold pool or other body of water your scrotum will retract into the body a bit. This is to regulate the temperature and keep it sufficiently warm for the sperm. Its all about making sure the sperm is not too hot or too cold.
What are the differential diagnosis of empty scrotum?
1- Undescended testis 2- Ectopic testis 3- Atrophic testis 4- Retractile testis 5- Surgically removed testis
What is the medical term meaning testicle?
Anorchism is absence of the testicles. Cryptorchidism means undescended (but present) testicles.Cryptorchism
What muscle is testis?
The muscle that covers the testis and the spermatic cord is called the "cremaster muscle".
What is male castration?
When both the testes are removed in case of the male, the process is called as castration. So many times one of the testis remain undescended . It becomes function less, if not made to descend by 8 years of age. Some times the other one has to be removed due to cancer.
What characteristics does a successful testicular surgery have?
Undescended testes are pulled down into their correct position and mature normally. In testicular torsion, the affected testis either regains its healthy pink color and is attached to the surrounding tissue with sutures, or.
A man with one testis is called?
Unhappy
WHAT IS THE MEDICAL TERM FOR condition of hidden testis?
The medical term for the condition of a hidden testis is cryptorchidism. This condition occurs when one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum before birth. It is important to address cryptorchidism to prevent potential complications such as infertility or an increased risk of testicular cancer.
What is the tubular region of the testis called?
The Vas Deferens.
What has the author Owen Harding Wangensteen written?

What occurs as a result of undescended testes?
The most common problems associated with undescended testicles are testicular neoplasm, subfertility, testicular torsion and inguinal hernia. Also, it has been well documented that men with a history of undescended testicle have a higher-than-expected incidence of testicular germ cell cancers. While the likelihood of developing testicular cancer has probably been overestimated in the past, the incidence among men with an undescended testicle is approximately one in 1,000 to one in 2,500. Undescended testicles can be categorized on the basis of physical and operative findings: (1) true undescended testicles (including intra-abdominal, peeping at the internal ring and canalicular testes), which exist along the normal path of descent and have a normally inserted gubernaculum; (2) ectopic testicles, which have an abnormal gubernacular insertion; and (3) retractile testicles, which are not truly undescended. The most important category to distinguish on physical examination is the retractile testis, because no hormone or surgical therapy is required for this condition. Approximately 20 percent of infants who present with cryptorchidism have at least one nonpalpable testicle. Through surgical examination, about one half of nonpalpable testes are found to be intra-abdominal, while the rest represent absent (vanishing) or atrophic testes. The vanishing testicle is thought to be caused by intrauterine testicular torsion.
What structure of the male anatomy carrying sperm out of the epididymis is called?
Testis
What is another name for the male gamete?
From the testis' epididymus it is called the vas deferens. Through the corpus spongiosum to the outside it is called the urethra, which also channels urine from the bladder. The tiny tubelets where spermatogenesis occurs in the testis are called seminiferous tubules.
