What is "gonadal artery"?
The gonadal artery is a blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the gonads (testes in males or ovaries in females). It arises from the abdominal aorta and branches off to reach the respective gonad on each side of the body. The gonadal artery plays a crucial role in delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the gonads, supporting their proper function and reproductive processes.
