Histology. •So Elements of Histology. vasculosi are about the size of the seminal tubules, but, unlike them, are lined with a layer of beautiful columnar epithelial cells, with a bundle of cilia (Fig. 245).

The membrtaia propria is thickened by the presence of a circular layer of non - striped muscular fibres. The rest— the globus minor, or tail of the epididymis—is made up of a continuation of the tubes of the globus major, the tubes diminishing gradually in number by fusion, and thereby at the same time becoming larger. The columnar epithelial cells, facing the lumen of the minor, are possessed of cilia. Fig. 245.—Tubule of the Epi- didymis in cross-section. The wall of the tubule is made up of a thick layer of roncentrically ar- ranged n(tn-:<triped muscular tissue, a layer of columnar epithelial cells witii extraoi'diuarily lonsr cilia pro- jecting into the lumen of the tube. tubes of the globus of unusual length. The tubes of the epididymis are separated from one another by a larger amount of connective tissue than those of the testis. The tubes of the organ of Giralde, situated in the beginning of the funiculus spermaticus, are lined with columnar ciliated epithelium. So is also the pedun- culated hydatid of Morgagni attached to the globus major, 331. The seminal tubules and the tubes of the epididymis are surrounded by a rich network of capillary blood-vessels. Between the tubes of the testis and epididymis are lymph spaces, forming an intercommunicating system, and emptying themselves.
