The pampiniform system plays an important role in the thermoregulation and the concentration of hormones in the testicle. The study of the vascularization of the testicle and of the epididymis shows an independent vascularity in the case of the rabbit. The arteries of the head of the epididymis leave the spermatic artery before the establishment of the particular relationships which exist between the testicular artery and the pampiniform system. Temperature monitoring shows no difference between these two organs. It appears in this case that the thermo regulation is achieved essentially by the scrotum. It is not possible to say if any hormonal exchange takes place between the testicle and the epididymis.
蔓状静脉丛系统在睾丸的温度调节和激素浓度方面发挥着重要作用。对睾丸和附睾血管形成的研究表明，在兔子身上，它们具有独立的血管分布。附睾头部的动脉在睾丸动脉与蔓状静脉丛系统建立特定关系之前就离开了精索动脉。温度监测显示这两个器官之间没有差异。在这种情况下，温度调节似乎主要是由阴囊实现的。无法确定睾丸和附睾之间是否发生任何激素交换。
