Which arteries are the anterior arteries of the testicular bags?

• A. Anterior scrotal arteries
• B. Proper palmar digital arteries
• C. Peroneal artery
• D. Epimysium

Answer: (A)

The front of the scrotum—the area referred to as the anterior part of the testicular bags—is supplied by the anterior scrotal arteries. These arise from the superficial external pudendal arteries (branches of the femoral system) and run in the skin and dartos to nourish the anterior surface. This is why they are considered the anterior arteries of the scrotum. The other options don’t fit because they belong to unrelated regions: proper palmar digital arteries serve the fingers, the peroneal artery runs in the leg, and the epimysium is a connective tissue layer around muscles, not an artery. The scrotum also has posterior scrotal arteries from the internal pudendal artery, supplying the back side, completing its vascular supply.
