Indicators of Physical Development and Anatomical Parameters of the Epididymis of Rats

Abstract

The scientific significance of the results of this research work allows us to expand the level of theoretical knowledge about the histotopography of the epididymis and its structural changes, which is a new approach to understanding the complex mechanism of reproductive processes in the body. In this study, at 90 days of age in white outbred rats, testicular body weight increases by 56.8 times, and body length by 4.8 times. Morphometry of the testicles showed uneven changes in mass, length and thickness in postnatal ontogenesis. Comparison of body mass and length with the mass and size of the testicles shows that as their size increases, body mass increases more than length. Testicular weight increases 1.16 times faster than body weight, and a high rate of testicular growth is reported.
