| sinus of epididymis | A narrow space between the body of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: sinus epididymidis. Ethmoidal sinuses, ethmoidal air-cells; evaginations of the mucous membrane of the middle and superior meatuses of the nasal cavity into the ethmoidal labyrinth forming multiple small paranasal sinuses; they are subdivided into anterior, middle and posterior ethmoidal sinuses. Synonym: antra ethmoidalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| superior ligament of epididymis | The uppermost of the two folds of the tunica vaginalis between the head of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: ligamentum epididymidis superius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| duct of epididymis | A convoluted tube into which the efferent ductules open and which itself terminates in the ductus deferens. Synonym: ductus epididymidis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior ligament of epididymis | The lower of the folds of the tunica vaginalis between the body of the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: ligamentum epididymidis inferius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tail of epididymis | The inferior part of the epididymis that leads into the ductus deferens; part of the reservoir of spermatozoa. Synonym: cauda epididymidis, cauda epididymis, globus minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epididymis | Convoluted tubule connecting the vas efferens, that comes from the seminiferous tubules of the mammalian testis, to the vas deferens. Maturation and storage of sperm occur in the epididymis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ligament of epididymis | One of two folds (superior and inferior) of the tunica vaginalis between the epididymis and the testis. Synonym: ligamentum epididymidis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobules of epididymis | The coiled portion of the efferent ductules that constitute the head of the epididymis; these join the ductus epididymidis. Synonym: lobuli epididymidis, coni epididymidis, coni vasculosi, Haller's cones, vascular cones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior border of testis | An imaginary convex line demarcating the lateral and medial surfaces. Synonym: margo anterior testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendix of the testis | A vesicular nonpedunculated structure attached to the cephalic pole of the testis; a vestige of the cephalic end of the paramesonephric (mullerian) duct. Synonym: appendix testis, appendix of the testis, nonpedunculated hydatid, ovarium masculinum, sessile hydatid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendix testis | A small solid projection of tissue on the outer surface of the testis which is a remnant of the embryologic mullerian duct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood-testis barrier | The membrane in the testis that separates sperm from the bloodstream. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vaginal process of testis | A peritoneal diverticulum in the embryonic lower anterior abdominal wall that traverses the inguinal canal; in the male it forms the tunica vaginalis testis and normally loses its connection with the peritoneal cavity; a persistent processus vaginalis in the female is known as the canal of Nuck. Synonym: Nuck's diverticulum, processus vaginalis peritonei, vaginal process of peritoneum, vaginal process of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vanished testis syndrome | <syndrome> Absence of both testes in a male with normal chromosomes (XY) and otherwise normal genitalia at birth and during childhood. Testes were present in at least the first trimester of gestation, but vanished sometime thereafter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| margo anterior testis | An imaginary convex line demarcating the lateral and medial surfaces. Synonym: margo anterior testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
