TESTICLE. 



139. Testis, . Longisection ; collodion ; 

 sections )x. Stain with hematoxylin and picrofuchsin. 



The following parts should be recognized, (a) the testis, and 

 {b) the epididymis ; in the testis, the three coats, the lobules of the 

 testis, and, composing the lobules, the seminiferous tubules, straight 

 tubules and rete testis ; in the epididymis, note its relation (as a 

 mass) to the testis, the structure of the tubules, the character of the 

 epithelium. Does the section include the globus major or minor or 

 both ? Is the vas epididymis sectioned ? Can you determine the 

 vas deferens ? In addition, note the blood vessels. 



140. Testis, . Transection of the testis in the 

 tunica vaginalis. ; collodion ; sections jx. Stain 

 with hematoxylin and eosin. 



Identify, as far as possible, the parts recognized in 139, and in 

 addition, the tunica vaginalis with its two layers, and the mediasti- 

 num. Note the position occupied by the blood vessels. What is 

 the cavity between the two layers of the tunica vaginalis and its 

 lining epithelium ? Identify the vas deferens. 



141. Spermatogenesis. Rat. Section of a part of the 

 testis. ; parafl&n ; sections fx. Stain with hema- 

 toxylin and acid fuchsin {f/i% solution). 



Examine different tubules and find if possible five different stages 

 in the formation of the spermatozoa, remembering that the process
