What is the processus vaginalis?

Processus vaginalis is a clinical term for a process that is characterized by the development of diverticum or protrusion or case, periton. Its complete medical term is actually the processus vaginalis peritonei, which reflects part of the body involved. Although its name indicates the process limited to the reproductive and urinary organs of women, the processus vaginalis also affects men. It is considered to be one of the development, which includes embryology, a medical industry concerning the formation and timely growth of living organisms. Known as a serous membrane because it contains a pale and yellow fabric called serous fluid, also lines the male gonade known as the testicles. Processus vaginalis begins around 12 weeks of pregnancy. This is before the testes begin to descend from the abdomen to the scrotum using the dembryonic structure known as the Gubernaculum.

A few weeks before or after birth, the closure that makes up the testicles is completed. The part that remains is called tunica vaginalis. The processus process of vaginalis takes about 12 weeks.

tunica vaginalis consists of two parts. Visceral laminate, clinically known as lamina visceralis, connects the testicles with the epididymis, a tube used for the transport of sperm. Parietal laminate, or lamina parietalis, is a larger part of Tunica vaginalis. The interval between the two parts forms the cavity of the peritoneal case.

In women, the failure of the case closes to its extension to the pubic stylia Major, an analogous scrotum in men. This is called the Nucka or Nucka Diverticulum channel. It is named after the Dutch Anatomiica of the 17th century named Antonius Nuck Van Leiden, which expanded research of the human reproductive system.

Lack of cover from the vaginal process or the presence of tunica vaginalis can lead to certain health conditions. Perhaps the most common of them is hydrocele. This is the accumulation of serous fluid from the peritoneal case. Males can develop hematocele, which isBlood accumulation in the testes. Other conditions that are the result of the vaginalis process are cysts and hernias. These abnormalities can usually be treated with surgery.
