DROP EMITTED FROM BETWEEN THE BACK BONE AND THE RIBS

DROP EMITTED FROM BETWEEN THE  BACK BONE AND THE RIBS

        “Now let man but think

         from what he is created!

         He is created from

         a drop emitted –

         Proceeding from between

         the back bone and the ribs.”

                                       [Al-Qur’an 86:5-7]

In embryonic stages, the reproductive organs of the

male and female, i.e. the testicles and the ovaries,

begin their development near the kidney between

the spinal column and the eleventh and twelfth ribs.

Later they descend; the female gonads (ovaries) stop

in the pelvis while the male gonads (testicles)

continue their descent before birth to reach the

scrotum through the inguinal canal. Even in

adulthood after the descent of the reproductive

organs, these organs receive their nerve supply and

blood supply from the Abdominal Aorta, which is in

the area between the backbone (spinal column) and

the ribs. The lymphatic drainage and the venous

return also go to the same area.
