Identify the coverings and structures of the spermatic cord and testes. Refer to an illustration of the anterior abdominal wall, spermatic cord and testis. (G 4.16;N 256;Gl 13.14) Note how each layer of the anterior abdominal wall contributes a covering of the spermatic cord and testes.

1. Identify the external spermatic fascia (G 4.16;N 365;Gl 13.14) covering the spermatic cord and testis.
2. Identify the cremaster muscle and fascia. (G 4.16;N 365;Gl 13.14)
3. Identify the internal spermatic fascia. (G 4.16;N 365;Gl 13.14) The cremaster, cremaster fascia and internal spermatic fascia may be fused. The outer surface is then the cremaster and the inner surface is the internal spermatic fascia.
4. Identify the ductus deferens, testicular artery and testicular vein (pampiniform plexus). (G 4.19A;N 365;Gl 13.14) Attempt to identify the genitofemoral nerve and cremasteric and ductus deferens arteries.
5. Identify the tunica vaginalis, testis and epididymis. (G 4.19B;N 365;Gl 13.16) Identify the tail, body and head of the epididymis. (G 4.20A;N 368;Gl 13.16) Identify the tunica albuginea. (G 4.20B;N 368;Gl 13.16) Attempt to identify one or more efferent ductules extending from the testis to the head of the epididymis.
