My Notes
The testes are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called scrotum. This is necessary as:
| 1. | The scrotum can contain lengthy ducts for the transfer of sperms |
| 2. | Scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
| 3. | Scrotum reduces the pressure around testes necessary for spermatogenesis |
| 4. | Scrotum can store huge amounts of sperms |

The testes in humans are situated outside the abdominal cavity inside a pouch called scrotum. The purpose served is for
| 1. | escaping any possible compression by the visceral organs |
| 2. | providing more space for the growth of epididymis |
| 3. | providing a secondary sexual feature for exhibiting the male sex |
| 4. | maintaining the scrotal temperature lower than the internal body temperature |
Assertion : In human male, testes are extra-abdominal and lie in scrotal sacs.
Reason : Scrotum acts as thermoregulator and keeps testicular temperature lower by 2°C normal spermatogenesis.
