Inguinal canal

Japanese: 鼠径管 - そけいかん(英語表記)inguinal canal
Inguinal canal
A 4-5 cm tube that descends above the inguinal ligament in the lower abdominal wall. In men, the spermatic cord that leads to the scrotum passes through its cavity, while in women, the round ligament of the uterus that leads to the labia majora passes through its cavity. Inguinal hernias occur when parts of the intestine or other organs pass through this tube, and are more common in men.
