Through Connective tissue

The connective tissue of the tunica albuginea testis extends into the substance of the testis to form fibrous partitions - the septa testis. At the posterior aspect of the testis (where the serosa of testis is deficient to allow for the attachment of the epididymis), the tunica albuginea extends into the testis to form the mediastinum testis.

Anatomy

Histology

It is composed of bundles of white fibrous connective tissue (from which it derives its name albuginea) which interlace in every direction.
