EMBRYOLOGY
DROP EMITTED FROM BETWEEN THE BACK BONE AND THE RIBS
فَلْيَنظُرِ
الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ 86:5
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاء دَافِقٍ 86:6
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
86:7
“Now let man but think
from what he is created!
He is created from
a drop emitted –
Proceeding from between
the back bone and the ribs.”
[Al-Qur’an 86:5-7]
In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the
male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries,
begin their development near the kidney between
the spinal column and the eleventh and twelfth ribs.
Later they descend; the female gonads (ovaries) stop
in the pelvis while the male gonads (testicles)
continue their descent before birth to reach the
scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in
adulthood after the descent of the reproductive
organs, these organs receive their nerve supply and
blood supply from the Abdominal Aorta, which is in
the area between the backbone (spinal column) and
the ribs. The lymphatic drainage and the venous
return also go to the same area.
