Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the testis and its surrounding structures. The testis is enclosed by several layers, including serous membranes that provide protection and reduce friction during movement.

Step 2: Recall the definition of a serous membrane. Serous membranes are thin layers of tissue that line certain internal cavities and organs, consisting of a parietal layer (lining the cavity) and a visceral layer (covering the organ).

Step 3: Identify the specific serous membrane associated with the testis. The tunica vaginalis is the serous membrane that surrounds each testis and consists of both parietal and visceral layers.

Step 4: Differentiate the tunica vaginalis from other layers of the testis. For example, the tunica albuginea is a fibrous capsule directly surrounding the testis, while the tunica vaginalis is external to it and serves as a serous membrane.

Step 5: Confirm the correct term to fill the blank based on the description provided. The term 'vaginalis' correctly completes the sentence, as it refers to the serous membrane around each testis.
