Why is it a disadvantage to have the scrotal sac hanging outside the body?

It is purely unethical and unnecessary. Chances are that you won't ever turn like the characters in South Park.

What is a female scrotum?
It is the 'sac' that holds the rabbits testes
What is the largest organ outside of the body?
Your skin is the largest organ outside of your body :)
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.
What can a lipid be used for outside the body?

When a mature egg is removed from the female body for fertilization outside of the body?
spot on
Why are the testis supped in the scrotal sac outside of the body?
To keep sperm cooler than core body temperature.

Does the uvula extends from the bladder to the outside of the body?
No. The uvula is the small hanging tissue in the back of your throat.
What causes scrotal calcification?
Scrotal Calcification is raised bumps on the scrotum. They are caused by Calcium in the body that has attached itself in the sensitive scrotal skin. This is NOT an STD. It is a rare skin disorder that is not contagious. less than 8% of the population has this disorder.
Healthy sperm production should have a scrotal temperature that is?
Lower than body temperature
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.
Why are male gonads outside the body?
If sperm are to remain viable they must not get too hot. The temperature inside the body would be too great. Keeping the testes in the scrotal sac enables temperature control because the skin can stretch to lower them away from the body's heat, or contract to bring them closer, depending on the environmental conditions.
Why are the testis hanging out of the male body?
The testes hang outside in many mammals to keep them cool. Too much warmth is bad for them.
How do the scrotal muscles help maintain temperature homeostasis of the testes?
This is an interesting question. Sperm do best at temperatures slightly below the temperature of the body. This is why the testes are located outside of the abdomen. The scrotal muscles tense and relax to control the distance of the testes from the body. If it is colder they will pull the testes closer to take advantage of body heat. If it gets hotter they will relax to allow the testes to get further from the warmth of the body. Hope this helps! (BTW, they also have a reflexive action that pulls the testes close to the body when something touches the inner thigh. This does nothing to maintain a constant temperature but it does help protect them from injury.)
What are the advantage and disadvantage body conditioning?
is useful in many ways
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).
