The testicle vascularization:

  • A. the arterial one is provided by the gonadal artery, a branch off the abdominal aorta;
  • B. the venous one is tributary to the internal iliac vein;
  • C. the arterial one is provided by the testicular artery, a branch off the internal iliac artery;
  • D. the venous one is tributary to the inferior vena cava;
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the arterial vascularization of the testicle is indeed provided by the gonadal artery, which is a branch off the abdominal aorta. This is anatomically accurate as the gonadal artery supplies blood to the testicles.

Choice B is incorrect because the venous drainage of the testicle is to the testicular vein, which drains into the inferior vena cava, not the internal iliac vein as stated in option B.

Choice C is incorrect because the testicular artery, not the internal iliac artery, is responsible for the arterial supply to the testicle.

Choice D is incorrect because the venous drainage of the testicle is not tributary to the inferior vena cava; instead, it drains into the left renal vein.
