Link from scrotal chamber to peritoneal cavity
Stem cells that produce sperm
Compartment of the scrotum containing a testis
Site of lactation
Flagellum
Inner layer of the uterine wall
Enlarged portion of the uterine tube
Important estrogen hormone
Responsible for the production of androgens
Layer of smooth muscle deep to the dermis of the scrotum
