testicular artery
One of a pair of arteries that is a branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies blood to a male gonad. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the testicular artery is
One of a pair of arteries that is a branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies blood to a male gonad. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the testicular artery is
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the testicular artery connects to
The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of abdominal aorta.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the testicular artery. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as testicular arterial tree, arteria testicularis, internal spermatic, internal spermatic arteries, internal spermatic artery and internal spermatic vessels, and 4 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the testicular artery?
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the testicular artery connect to?
Part of: abdominal aorta.
Is the testicular artery the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
