Study Notes

Structure of the Testis

  • The lining of the seminiferous tubules is composed of Sertoli cells.
  • The tunica albuginea, a layer of connective tissue, provides a thick, fibrous capsule that surrounds the testis and helps to protect it.
  • The internal framework of the testis is provided by the fibrous septa, which are extensions of the tunica albuginea that divide the testis into several compartments.
