albuginea

• “Well, she is a little under-exposed to public opinion, what with her head firmly lodged somewhere between every other woman's internal os and tunica albuginea.”

  Oooooooh ...

• “In relation to the testicle, the posterior part will be seen to be reflected over the body of the gland as the tunica albuginea, while the anterior part blends with the cellular tissue of the front wall of the scrotum.”

  Surgical Anatomy

• “The two coverings of fibro-serous structure which surrounded the testis in the loins become respectively the tunica albuginea and tunica vaginalis when the gland occupies the scrotal cavity.”

  Surgical Anatomy

• “When the serous canal contracts and degenerates to the form of a simple cord, it leaves the fibrous canal still continuous above with the fibrous membrane (transversalis fascia) of the abdomen, and below with the fibrous envelope (tunica albuginea) of the testis; and at the adult period, this fibrous canal is known as the internal spermatic sheath, or infundibuliform fascia enclosing the remains of the serous canal, together with the spermatic vessels, &c.”

  Surgical Anatomy

• “On the surface of the organ this tissue is much condensed, and forms a layer (tunica albuginea) composed of short connective-tissue fibers, with fusiform cells between them.”

  XI. Splanchnology. 3d. 1. The Ovaries

• “The surface epithelium ultimately forms the permanent epithelial covering of this organ; it soon loses its connection with the central mass, and a tunica albuginea develops between them.”

  XI. Splanchnology. 3. The Urogenital Apparatus

• “The testis has a rich superficial plexus beneath the tunica albuginea.”

  VIII. The Lymphatic System. 1. Introduction

• “The fibroelastic coat (tunica albuginea) invests the organ, and at the hilum is reflected inward upon the vessels in the form of sheaths.”

  XI. Splanchnology. 4g. The Spleen

• “Two or three of these accompany the ductus deferens, and supply the epididymis, anastomosing with the artery of the ductus deferens; others pierce the back part of the tunica albuginea, and supply the substance of the testis.”

  VI. The Arteries. 5a. 2. The Abdominal Aorta

• “It clothes the inner surface of the tunica albuginea and the different septa in the interior of the gland, and therefore forms an internal investment to all the spaces of which the gland is composed.”
