Is the name of the sac in which the testes are suspended?
scrotum
How does the animal regulate the temperature of its scrotum during hot and cold conditions?
Blood vessels in the scrotum and around the testes constrict or expand based on the outside temperature. The spermatic cord also is useful in contracting when temperatures are too cold for the testes to stand and thus need to be pulled more into the body cavity to be warm, or relaxing when it's warm enough that the testes need to be away from the body cavity to stay cool.
The canal used to place scrotum and testes to place just before birth in men?
The inguinal canal is the canal that is used to place scrotum and testes in place before birth in men.
What is the function of the testes in a fetal pig?

Which structure is not found in the scrotum?
spermatic cord, testes, epididymis and vas deferens
The organ that protects and regulates the temperature of the testes?
The pouch of skin that contains the testes is called the scrotum.
Name the function of the scrotum?
To keep the temperature of the testes slightly less than our body temperature. ie.It maintaings 35-36 degree Celsius.
What is the organ that protects and regulates the temperature of the testes?
the scrotum.
Should the testes be warmer than body temperature?
If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.
The skin that holds the testes is what?
The answer is the scrotum, the testis are in the scrotum.
The is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord Its muscular activity regulates the temperature of the testes?
The scrotum is a pouch that holds the testes and parts of the spermatic cord. Its muscular activity regulates the temperature of the testes.
Why are the testes located outside the body in human?
The testes are located outside of the body because the bodies temperature is too high for the testes and the scrotum has a lower temperature for them to be able to produce sperm.
WhAT IS functional advantage of having testes in the scrotum rather than in the abdomen?
The testes can only produce functional semen at a certain temperature. If they were in the abdomen, the environment would be too warm. Since the scrotum is only a thin piece of skin, the testes are contained in an environment that is the perfect temperature.
Why is the temperature of the testes lower than core body temperature?
If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.
It is advantageous to have human testes in the scrotum rather than in the abdomen due to?
It's due to the cooling effect of having the testes outside the main portion of the body. Testes need a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body, for ideal functioning. Overheating will reduce fertility.
How does the scrotum keep the testes at a temperature slightly below normal body temperature?
There is a muscle sheath in the scrotum which lowers the scrotum when the temperature is high and hugs it tighter to the body when the temperature is low.
What is the male skin sac called?
The "sac" between a man's legs is called the scrotum. It is what protects and contains the testes. The scrotum also regulates the temperature of the testes. When they are hot, the skin becomes very soft, and there may even be sweating. When the testes are cold, the skin of the scrotum becomes stiff, shrunken, and leathery.
