Fig. 1147.—The left testis in situ, the tunica vagi- nalis having been laid ALBUGINEA Fig. 1148.—Frontal section of the testis and epi- didymis. (Poirier and Charpy.) The epididymis consists of a central portion or body (corpus epididymidis); an upper enlarged extremity, the head or globus major {caput epididymidis); and a lower pointed extremity, the tail or globus minor {caiida epididymidis'). The globus major is directed inward and is intimately connected with the upper end of the testicle by means of its efferent ducts, and the globus minor is connected with its lower end by cellular tissue and a reflection of the tunica vaginalis. The globus minor bends suddenly and passes into the seminal duct, the direction of which is upward and backward. The outer surface and upper and lower ends of the epididymis are free and covered by serous membrane; the body is also com- pletely invested by it, excepting along its inner border, and between the body and the posterior part of the outer surface of the testis is a pouch or cul-de-sac, named the digital fossa (sinus epididymidis). Above this fossa is a fold of the tunica vaginalis, which is called the Ugamentum epididymidis superior, and below it is another fold, the Ugamentum epididymidis inferior. The epididymis is con- nected to the back of the testis by a fold of the serous membrane. Attached to the upper end of the testis, close to the globus major, is a small body; it is oblong in shape and has a broad base, and is called the sessile hydatid {appendix testis [Morgagni]) (Figs. 1140 and 1147). Attached to the globus major of the epi-.
