Question

Tunica albuginea is the covering around ________.

• A. Ovary
• B. Testis
• C. Kidney
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and B

• Tunica albuginea is the tough fibrous layer of connective tissue that surrounds the corpora cavernosa of the penis. It helps to trap blood in the corpora cavernosa. It is a dense layer of tissue that encases the testes and connects to the layers of fibres that surround the epididymis, the first in a series of ducts that transport sperm out of the testes and into the penis.
• Tunica albuginea (ovaries), is a layer of condensed fibrous tissue on the surface of the ovary.
• The renal capsule surrounds the outer surface of both kidneys.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
