Question

Which of the following structures is not the content of the spermatic cord?
(A)Vas-deferens
(B)Testicular vessels
(C)Testicular nerve
(D)Deep artery of corpus cavernosum

Answer 1

Hint: The structure which is not the content of the spermatic cord is the terminal branches of the internal pudendal, which arises from that vessel while it is situated between the two fasciae of the urogenital diaphragm which is present at the deep perineal pouch.

Complete answer:
The structure which is not the content of the spermatic cord is the deep artery of the corpus cavernosum. The spermatic cord- It is the cord-like structure that is present in males formed by the vas deferens which is also known as ductus deferens and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring right down to each testicle. The serosal covering of the spermatic cord is an extension of the peritoneum which is called the tunica vaginalis that passes through the transversalis fascia. Each testicle develops within the lower thoracic and upper lumbar region and migrates into the scrotum during its descent; it carries alongside its ductus deferens, its vessels, nerves, etc. there's one on all sides.

Additional Information: The spermatic cord is enclosed in three layers of tissue:
external spermatic fascia, an extension of the innominate fascia that overlies the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, cremasteric muscle, and fascia, formed from a continuation of the oblique muscle and its fascia spermatic fascia, continuous with the transversalis fascia.
So, the correct answer is ‘Deep artery of corpus cavernosum’.

Note: The spermatic cord is very sensitive to torsion, in which the testicle rotates within its sac and blocks its own blood supply. Testicular torsion may result in irreversible damage to the testicle within hours. A collection of serous fluid in the spermatic cord is known as the 'funiculocele'.
