Tunica vasculosa testis

Tunica vasculosa testis
Details
Latin	Tunica vasculosa testis
*Anatomical terminology* [edit on Wikidata]

The tunica vasculosa is the vascular layer of the testis, consisting of a plexus of bloodvessels, held together by delicate areolar tissue.

It clothes the inner surface of the tunica albuginea and the different septa in the interior of the gland, and therefore forms an internal investment to all the spaces of which the gland is composed.
