Epididimis: Verskil tussen weergawes

Die '''epididimis''' (ɛpɪdɪdɪmɪs) is 'n buis wat 'n [[testikel]] met sy [[vas deferens]] verbind in die manlike voortplantingstelsel. Dit kom voor by alle manlike [[reptiele]], [[voëls]] en [[Soogdier|soogdieresoogdier]]e. By volwasse mans is dit 'n enkele, smal, styf opgerolde buis, 6 tot 7 meter lank wat die efferente kanale aan die agterkant van elke testikel met sy vas deferens verbind.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Glenn's urological surgery|editor3-first=James F.|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GahMzaKgMKAC&pg=PA356|place=Philadelphia|publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins|chapter=Chapter 53: Anatomy of the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicle|page=356|year=2010|edition=7th|editor3-last=Glenn|last1=Kim|editor2-first=Thomas E.|editor2-last=Keane|editor1-first=Sam D.|editor1-last=Graham|first2=Marc|last2=Goldstein|first1=Howard H.|isbn=978-0-7817-9141-0}}</ref>

Soms word mans se epididimis verwyder as 'n vorm van geboortebeperking of om ander redes (soos vir post-vasektomiese pyn) tydens 'n operasie bekend as 'n epididimektomie.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://open.lib.umn.edu/largeanimalsurgery/chapter/how-to-epididectomy/|first6=Erica|publisher=University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing|last9=DVM|first9=|last8=Ezzo|first8=Ashley|last7=DVM|first7=|last6=Dobbs|last5=PhD|title=Large Animal Surgery -– Supplemental Notes|first5=D.
