Gubernaculum!

Apparently I post in twos now, because this just occurred to me and now I have to put it down. My previous favourite anatomical structure in the body was the Anatomical Snuff Box. Now don't get me wrong, I still think it's pretty cool, but at least in name I think it's been surpassed by the gubernaculum. Granted, you can't see this, since it's an embryonic structure, but just say that name again. Gubernaclum. It's just great. One more time. Gubernaculum. Or, to really finish it off; many, many gubernacula.

I'm done now.

So the question is, what does it have to do with the governor?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The first word of any Roman child? GUBERNACULUM!!! (the -culum suffix designates "small", so they may be referring to a small guber :P)
