Histogenesis of the Gubernaculum During Testis Descent in the Goat Fetus (Capra marghoz)

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Testicular descent is a complex process that only occurs in mammals. The role of the gubernaculum during testicular descent has been explained mainly by its capacity for dilatation and contraction. This study tried to investigate the changes in the structure of the fibers and cells of the gubern...
