===Testes===
The parenchyma of the testes is composed of the semniferous tubules, rete testis and efferent ducts. The '''semniferous tubules''' are the site of [[Spermatogenesis and Spermiation - Anatomy & Physiology|spermatogenesis]]. The walls of the semniferous tubules contain '''spermatogenic cells''' and their sustentacular cells, which are known as '''sertoli cells'''. The sertoli cells give support and also produce hormones. They regulate [[Spermatogenesis and Spermiation - Anatomy & Physiology|spermatogenesis]] and the release of spermatozoa into the lumen of the semniferous tubules.
The '''spermatic cord''' runs from the abdomen caudally, through the '''inguinal canal'''. The inguinal canal is formed by the '''deep and superficial inguinal rings'''.
