Testicular Artery
The Testicular Artery is a blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the testicles. It originates from the abdominal aorta, typically at the level of the second lumbar vertebra. This artery travels through the inguinal canal and into the scrotum, where it branches to provide blood to the surrounding tissues.
In addition to the testicles, the Testicular Artery also supplies blood to the epididymis, which is essential for sperm maturation and storage. Proper blood flow through this artery is crucial for male reproductive health and function, as it ensures the testicles receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen.
