They hang outside to control their temperature. When cold the scrotum contracts and so brings the testes closer to the body for warmth. When hot the scrotum sags so moving the testes away from the body for cooling.

∙ 6y agoThe testicles stay outside of the body to help regulate the temperature. If too warm, the scrotum slackens, so lowering the testicles further from body heat to cool. If too cold, the scrotum contracts and pulls the testicles closer to the warmth of the body. Regulating the temperature aids in sperm production.

∙ 6y agoIn a male, the testes are in a sac that helps to regulate sperm production. If the scrotum (testes sac) becomes too warm, the sac relaxes and droops to place the testes into lower, cooler air. If the scrotum becomes too cold, the scrotum contracts and pulls the testes closer to the warmth from the body.

What holds the testes outside the body?
The testicles are contained in the scrotum.
How does having reproductive organs outside the body benefit humans?
Well, they aren't. The penis, scrotum and clitoris (females) are the only sexual structures outside the body. Of these, the only reproductive structure is inside the scrotum, and yes, it is best outside the body because sperm will die if not kept cool. But all female reproductive organs are inside the body.
How does the location of the scrotum help sperm to produce?
The scrotum of a male, is outside the body, because sperm production requires a cooler environment then the internal body. So, the external location actually is required for production of the sperm.
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.
Where are the testes located in your body?
They are inside the scrotum.
What holds the testes outside the body?
The testicles are contained in the scrotum.
What are located outside the body in which the testes are suspended?
That's the scrotum.
Is the scrotum an organ?
The scrotum is the sack of skin, directly behind the penis, that contains the testicles. So the answer is NO, the scrotum is outside the body.
What sac are located outside the body and in which testes are suspended?
The sacs located outside the body and in which the testes are suspended are called the scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch-like structure that contains the testicles and helps regulate their temperature for proper sperm production and development.
Is the scrotum found outside of the body?
Your testes descend from abdominal cavity to the scrotum. There is difference of one degree Celsius from body. It is lower in the scrotum. This one degree Celsius lower temperature is necessary for production of the sperms.
How does having reproductive organs outside the body benefit humans?

Why are the male testes located in the scrotum outside the body?
The scrotum lies outside of the body between the thighs, exposing the testes to a lower temperature than the rest of the body. This lower temperature is necessary for the adequate maturation and development of sperm (spermatogenesis).
Is testicular cancer on the outside or inside of the scrotum?
inside scrotum.
How does the location of the scrotum help sperm to produce?
The scrotum of a male, is outside the body, because sperm production requires a cooler environment then the internal body. So, the external location actually is required for production of the sperm.
Why are the testis is located in the scrotum?
The testes are located outside the male body in the scrotum, because sperm production requires a cooler temperature, then the internal body temperature, so the temperature can be regulated better outside the male body, in the scrotum.
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.
How does the location of the scrotum affect sperm?
The scrotum is to house the testes outside the body cavity, that location is cooler than normal body temperature. Since the sperm cells cannot develop at normal body temperature, that function helps.
