15.21 Rete testis

Version française

Section of a human testis at the level of the hilus or mediastinum (area of entry and exit of vessels and ducts in the testis).

This field shows the tunica albuginea (Alb) (left) and a few seminiferous tubules (T) (right).

The cavities between them form the rete testis (RT). These cavities are interconnected channels lined with a simple epithelium composed of squamous or cuboidal epithelial cells sitting on dense connective tissue (*).
