The males also have paired gubernaculum and bursa.
2.
The gubernaculum grows into a thick cord.
3.
Developing on the outside surface of each testis is a Phibro muscular cord called the gubernaculum.
4.
The shape and size of the gubernaculum are often important characters for the systematics of nematodes.
5.
The testis is outstretched . gubernaculum is well developed and there is a bursa enveloping the tail.
6.
The gubernaculum is another organ of the nematode male copulatory system, which guides the spicules during copulation.
7.
Embryologically, each ovary ( which forms from the gonadal ridge ) is connected to a band of mesoderm, the gubernaculum.
8.
By the fifth month the lower part of the gubernaculum still is a thick cord, while the upper part has disappeared.
9.
Other gonad-infecting species differ from this one by possessing a smooth gubernaculum, and their spicules being of different lengths.
10.
Cryptorchidism in AMH deficiency suggests that AMH may play a role in transabdominal testicular descent, perhaps by facilitating contraction of the gubernaculum.
