Why is there no mention of the common betting "scam" of portraying one's "left-nut" as a viable prize? This must be added with significant attention.
Removed subjective sadistic comments, post it again, and you'll get reported.
What sadistic comments were said? and why isnt there a section on how to treat groin hits?
Testis/Testes versus Testicle(s)
As far as I know, "testicle" is a vernacular construction not commonly used in standard medical nomenclature...the appropriate singular form is "testis," while the plural is "testes."
- Which is kinda surprising; often medical terms have a diminutive element (such as -cul-) absent in the vernacular. â€"Tamfang 04:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
True to an extent- nobody says to a patient, "ah, well you obviously have had a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus" (shingles) - but in several cases, it's best to be accurate. In this case by calling the article "testis". Testicles is part of the common vernacular, but I for one was surprised not to see a more correct medical term. DoctorReiux 10:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- A PubMed search for "testicle" yields nearly as many hits as for "testis", and many of the linked articles use "testicle" in the title. It does not seem to me that the term is wholly unscientific. Wnt (talk) 06:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Hold on! What the heck?! This "Wikipedia" article is the first time that I've ever read of "testicle" being derived from "testimony" rather than the other way around! What I've read before, explained that men used to hold themselves by their testicles during the oath prior to telling the truth upon facing the penalty for perjury, which would be castration. That "testimony" and "testament" et cetera, were thus derived from "testicles", "testis" or whatever you're debating about. Now your article has it the other way around. Because women didn't have any testicles to loose, that's why they didn't "testify". If the article as is, means anything, than you've just flipped my world perception upside down again.

- The discussion about Testicle vs Testis seems to have gone silent about seven years ago: I would like to revive it. I strongly favor "Testis". I offer no scientific rationale for my preference: to me, it just "sounds" more scientific and emotionally neutral vs crude and vernacular. That's IMO. I'm going to "Boldly" edit wherever term testicle is used; and lobby for changing the Article title later. Regards IiKkEe (talk) 15:38, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
Adding basic scientific information on testicle
I think some of the knowledge-based information that is present in the Human Protein Atlas (and a large number of associated scientific publications in peer reviewed journals) regarding the normal human testicle would be vital and encyclopaedic type of information that would fit well as complement in the wiki description of the nature of human testicles. I tried with "Expression of genes and proteins" as a new subheading under "Structure" and then added a short summarizing paragraph and relevant references. I am trying to find the right format and content length for this. However, today someone named IdreamofJeanie had omitted my contribution, so now I am here trying to understand how to develop this part and how to proceed to get this information added to this wiki page? Is there anyone who does not think that it is important knowledge to describe the different protein expression patterns that define our different types tissues and organs? â€" Preceding unsigned comment added by Figgep (talk • contribs) 11:03, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Tested with a new, and shorter version with only the basic features that underlie the normal anatomy, histology and function of testicles. Added direct references to published scientific articles in well renowned journals (Science and Molecular Human Reproduction) and a link to the specific webpage for normal testis at the academic project Human Protein Atlas database. Hope you find this useful and appropriate! Figgep
OK, no specific comments on this corresponding talk page, so I will add my brief text paragraph with appropriate references. This time I hope that no one will just delete my additions without discussing this first here on the talk page. Figgep (talk) 07:36, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
