: it sounds good to me. oh, and the internal spermatic fascia is contributed by the transversalis fascia i think.

: : Do the external obliques, internal obliques, or transversus abdominis contribute to the spermatic cord? Is it correct to say the external oblique's aponeurosis contributes to the external spermatic fascia and the internal oblique's aponeurosis contributes to the cremasteric fascia, but the transversus abdominis does not contribute to the spermatic cord?
This looks good to me, when you add Nick's comment about the transversalis fascia. I could be wrong, but I thought that Dr. Jeffries said that the cremasteric muscles are actually just a continuation of the int oblique m. (might want to double-check that!) There's a good review of this in Gray's for Students that might help.
