Anatomical terminology

The cremasteric artery (external spermatic artery) is a branch of the inferior epigastric artery which accompanies the spermatic cord to supply the cremaster muscle as well as other coverings of the spermatic cord in the male (whereas in the female, the cremasteric artery is very small and accompanies the round ligament).
