Abstract :
Testis are the endocrine organs in males with the reproductive function. The prenatal morphometry and position of the testis with its descend are important as during the adult life the maldevelopment can lead to infertility, malignancy torsion etc. The gross development of testis has been a subject of interest for many emyologists. These measurement also gives indication of gestational age, and development at different stages of gestation. The present study has been undertaken with the aim of setting morphometric parameters on testes in North West Indian fetuses of different gestational age. Morphometric parameters taken were: length, eadth, thickness, weight and volume of right and left testis. All the parameters of the testis were calculated and correlated with the increasing fetal gestational age. The present study established a significant and positive correlation between the length, eadth, thickness, weight and volume of testes. All the growth parameters showed strong and positive correlation with each other. The difference between right and left testes dimensions were also noted. The increase in the length, eadth as well as thickness of the testis was almost constant in all the age groups.
