Testicular vein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The testicular vein forms the venous drainage of the testicle . On the spermatic cord it forms a tendril plexus ( pampiniformis plexus ), which acts as a heat exchanger to cool the blood in the testicular artery .

The right jugular testicular ( Vena testicular artery ) opens into human inferior vena cava , the left jugular testicular ( Vena testicular artery ) into the renal vein artery , sometimes the reason for the development of symptomatic varicoceles with a kidney tumor of the left kidney to be that grows into the left renal vein (1% of cases).
