-
The integuments which cover the testes. These are nothing more than a prolongation of the skin of the inner part of the thighs, perinaeum, and penis. The skin is remarkable for its brown colour, for the numerous rugae, especially when the scrotum is contracted; for the great number of sebaceous follicles it contains; and for the long and few hairs which issue from it in the adult. The scrotum is divided into two equal parts by a raphe, which extends from the anus to the root of the penis. Its organization is similar to that of the skin of other parts of the body, except that the chorion is thinner.
