Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet: The right coronary artery supplies the right atrium and right ventricle with blood. It branches into the posterior descending artery, which supplies the bottom portion of the left ve...
These are the ductus deferens, three arteries (testicular, ductus deferens, and cremasteric), pampiniform venous plexus, branch of genitofemoral nerve, sympathetic nerve branches, and lymphatic vessels. As they descend, the testes also push layers of the anterior abdominal wall (internal and ...
