  • Mechanism of descent – role of the gubernaculum and processus vaginalis in guiding testicular descent, with factors promoting normal movement.
  • Anomalies of descent – conditions like cryptorchidism, ectopic testes, anorchism, and monarchism, explained with causes and consequences.
  • Clinical complications – effects of non-descent, failure of processus vaginalis obliteration, and associations with inguinal hernia.
