Testis Overview
The processes vaginalis, a remnant of the peritoneal space, is lined by visceral and parietal layers of tunica vaginalis, a serous membrane. Like all serosas, the tunica vaginalis is composed of connective tissue covered by a simple squamous epithelium (mesothelium). A dense connective tissue, tunica albuginea, lies between the visceral tunica vaginalis and the testis proper. 40x
