processus vaginalis
Explanation:
Here´s an explanation:

Hacia el sexto mes de vida intrauterina, el peritoneo relacionado con el gubernáculum forma una evaginación, a modo de dedo de guante que cruza la pared abdominal llegando hasta el escroto o el labio mayor según sea el caso. **Este túnel peritoneal se denomina proceso vaginal**, y la brecha que forma la pared abdominal recibe el nombre de canal inguinal. En el octavo mes de vida intrauterina, en los fetos de sexo masculino, el testículo cruza por el canal inguinal para alojarse en la bolsa escrotal. La porción cefálica del proceso vaginal de oblitera y la porción inferior persiste como la **túnica vaginal** del testículo.

. La cavidad vaginal, que como vimos es una pequeña extensión del peritoneo, permite que el testículo se desplace libremente en la bolsa escrotal.

**The processus vaginalis is an outpouching of the peritoneal cavity** that descends with the testicle into the scrotal sac, ultimately becoming the tunica vaginalis. The tunica vaginalis envelops all but the posterior aspect of the epididymis and testicle.

tunica vaginalis


Explanation:
The testis is invested by three tunics: the tunica vaginalis, tunica albuginea, and tunica vasculosa.
  The Tunica Vaginalis (tunica vaginalis propria testis) is the serous covering of the testis. It is a pouch of serous membrane, derived from the saccus vaginalis of the peritoneum, which in the fetus preceded the descent of the testis from the abdomen into the scrotum. After its descent, that portion of the pouch which extends from the abdominal inguinal ring to near the upper part of the gland becomes obliterated; the lower portion remains as a shut sac, which invests the surface of the testis, and is reflected on to the internal surface of the scrotum; hence it may be described as consisting of a visceral and a parietal lamina.
