Explain the importance of having the testis located in the scrotal sacwhich is outside the abdonimal cavity among male mammals?
It keeps the testis one or two degrees cooler than the rest of the body. This is important because the sperm made in the testis prefer the cooler temperature. You'll notice that if you go into a cold pool or other body of water your scrotum will retract into the body a bit. This is to regulate the temperature and keep it sufficiently warm for the sperm. Its all about making sure the sperm is not too hot or too cold.
