Strong

warning

"Seminiferous tubules carry sperm via tubuli recti into a dilated space within the mediastinum testes known as the rete testis. The rete testis drains into the epididymis through 10-15 efferent ductules ¹. Efferent ducts in the head of the epididymis unite to form a single duct in the body and tail region (globus minor), which continues as the ductus deferens."

Line 6:118 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>rete testis</strong>'

Heterogeneous Spelling

warning

"T1: epididymis has homogenously intermediate signal"

Line 18:44 · Radiopaedia advises the '-eous' form: 'homogeneously' rather than 'homogenously'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The epididymis (plural: epididymides) is situated adjacent to the testis within the scrotal sac. Its primary function is the collection, maturation and transport of sperm via the ductus deferens."

Line 1:194 · Use the Oxford comma in 'collection, maturation and transport'.

"History and etymology"

Line 21:1 · A bold element in the History and etymology section should be a person; it would be useful to have their lifespan details: '<h4>History and etymology</h4> <p>"Epididymis" derives from the Greek έπιδιδυμίς (έπί "upon" + δίδυμος "testis"). Δίδυμοι (meaning "twins") was an older term for both testes and ovaries. <strong>Galen </strong>originally used the term to refer to what we now call the tunica, and used the term "parastates" ("standing beside") for what we call the epididymis. <strong>Herophilos</strong> '
