title: Variations in testicular arteries in fetuses and adults.
abstract: An investigation was carried out of 100 human male individuals at the age of 20 hbd to 28 hbd and of 18 to 90 years. Attention was paid to the fact whether these blood vessels commenced in the aorta or renal artery, to the relation of testicular arteries to the trunk of vena cava inverior, and to their course vis a vis that of the renal veins. Four most common variations in the course of these vessels were identified, and variations in their basic types seen in our material were described.
