The anteriorpart, properly called the testis, is the denser portion andis attached posteriorly to a membrane which partly en-velops it, called the epididymis. The testis is enclosedby a covering of several distinct layers, protecting theparenchyma, which is the glandular structure, a softreddish-yellow, inelastic mass. This is divided into sev-eral hundred pyramidal lobules, each consisting of fromone to three seminiferous tubules occasionally branchingand very much convoluted.

From each tubule a straightcanal proceeds to join other similar canals in forming theretiform plexus, the tubules of which after variouschanges in form come together at the origin of the sper-matic duct. This canal, called also the vas deferens, isnearly a foot and a half long, extending from the bottomof the scrotum upward to the abdominal ring, throughwhich it passes and then takes a downward and backwardcourse through the pelvis to the fundus of the bladder,.
