Epididymis Appendage Testis, Paradidymis

Epididymis Appendix Testis, Paradidymis (Paradidimis) are bilateral blind ducts (rare), which are vestigial remnants of the caudal section of the embryonic mesonephros. They can be found in adults near the upper pole of the testicle. Some of the tubules of the mesonephros are part of the efferent tubules of the testicle, while the rest almost completely degenerate. A similar rudimentary structure (periovarian or paroophoron) is also present in the female body. Paradidymis is an embryonic rudiment of the mesonephric duct, which has no functional significance in the adult body.



The epididymis (or Paradidymos) is a rudiment that can only be found in the adult male half of humanity. Its early development was due precisely to evolution. The essence of the work of the epididymis is to ensure the viability of the seminiferous tubules and their protection from the aggressive effects of urinary flow. Nature has also rewarded this appendage with a rather important secret: it stimulates the vas deferens to release more seed. But if a person begins to become heavily involved in alcohol, smoking may well ruin this function and lead to a decrease in sperm production. This will cause infertility
