Morphometry of Testis

Abstract

Testis 100 in number were collected from cadavers in anatomy department and from aborted fetuses in gynaecology & obstetrics department of Andhra Medical College. They are divided in to groups by age wise, weight and measurements of testes (Morphometric) were done and kept in tabular form compared with normal one. Previous literature were also observed and the maximum weight of testes found in our study is 15gm. The minimum weight of testes in our study is 3 mg and 3mm in length width and breadth and maximum length, width and breadth is 5cmX3cmX5cm. The data obtained shows reduction of parameters of testes. The descent of testes and any congenital abnormalities were also observed. Colour of testes and appearance were also observed. The weight and morphometric measurements of testes were found below the normal in this region. However the size and morphometric measurements were dependent on hormonal status and built of individual. But the built and status of individuals are average. The reduction of morphometric measurements were probable due to some other cause.
