It's the muscle that surrounds the testicles and spermatic cord. It twitches involuntarily when the cremasteric reflex is stimulated, or to raise the testicles closer to the body when it's cold or the man is sexually excited. It can also be twitched voluntarily in most men using Kegels, where the muscles that tighten the anus, and stop the flow of urine, are contracted. Some men can also contract it by contracting their abdominal muscles.

Two muscles found in the scrotum?
The dartos muscle and the cremaster muscle are two muscles found in the scrotum. The dartos muscle is a smooth muscle that helps regulate the temperature of the testes by contracting or relaxing to elevate or lower the scrotum. The cremaster muscle is a skeletal muscle that raises and lowers the testes in response to temperature changes or sexual arousal.
The dartos and cremaster muscles are important to the integrity of the male reproductive system.?
they regulate the temperature of the testes..
Does contraction of the dartos muscle cause elevation of the testes?
No, contraction of the dartos muscle causes wrinkling of the scrotal skin to regulate temperature, but it does not directly cause elevation of the testes. Elevation of the testes is primarily controlled by the cremaster muscle.
What helps regulate the temperature of the testes?
The cremaster muscle and the dartos muscle help regulate the temperature of the testes by moving the testes closer to the body to keep them warm or away from the body to cool them down. The testes are located outside the body in the scrotum, which helps maintain a lower temperature than the rest of the body, which is crucial for sperm production.
What tissues are the scrotum made of?
The scrotum is made of a layer of skin, smooth muscle tissue called the dartos muscle, and a more deep-layer muscle known as the cremaster muscle. These structures help to regulate the temperature of the testes for optimal sperm production.
Muscle that raises and lowers scrotum?
The cremaster muscle.
When was The Cremaster Cycle created?
The Cremaster Cycle was created in 1994.
Why testes blow or bulge at the time of urination only?
May be because Testicles move due to contraction of dartos muscles as they respond to temperature change.
Name the lining of the scrotal sac that consists of a smooth muscle layer?
Dartos Muscle
What actors and actresses appeared in The Cremaster Cycle - 2003?
The cast of The Cremaster Cycle - 2003 includes: Matthew Barney
Why is it important for the testes be outside the body?
Sperm production requires an environment that is neither too hot or too cold. The cremaster muscles are those that will raise or lower the scrotal sac. If the testes are too warm, the cremaster muscles loosen and the scrotal sac will hand lower. If the testes are too cold, the cremaster muscles will control and draw them up closer to the body for warmth. So it's all about temperature control.
What happens when there is contraction of the dartos muscle?
produces an erection
