In order to fully descend, the testes must pass through the inguinal canal, which is a passage in the abdominal wall. This process occurs during fetal development and is essential for the testes to properly position in the scrotum. Failure of the testes to descend completely can lead to complications like infertility or increased risk of testicular cancer.

Why does the sperm not go through the uterus on the way out of the mans body?

During ejaculation, sperm travel through the vas deferens, which is a different pathway than the uterus. The vas deferens carries the sperm from the testes to the urethra, where they are ejaculated out of the penis. The sperm do not enter the uterus because they do not need to in order to fertilize an egg.


What is male castration?

When both the testes are removed in case of the male, the process is called as castration. So many times one of the testis remain undescended . It becomes function less, if not made to descend by 8 years of age. Some times the other one has to be removed due to cancer.


Which cells in a multicellular organism undergo meiosis?

Meiosis is a stage of cell division that is crucial for sexual reproduction of plants and animals. The cells that are produced by this process are known as gametes (in animals) or spores (in plants) which in the end still produce gametes.


What is the order in which light passes through the eye on its way to the rods and cones?

Light first enters the eye through the cornea, then passes through the pupil and the lens before reaching the rods and cones in the retina.


Why can't i taste anything when i have a cold is it bad?

During a cold, a congested nose is one of the symptoms, which restricts air flow through your nasal canal (nose). Taste is a combination of your tongue and nose breathing in air in order to product a taste. Without breathing through your nose, taste is not possible. This is the same premise in which plugging your nose while eating something distasteful lowers the severity of it.

What would be the likely outcome if the testes remained undesceded?

1) In order for the male testes to produce sperm, the testes must descend out of the body and hang in the scrotum.2) Also, I have heard it said that a male should NOT use a laptop computer with his legs crossed, because that would heat up the testes and kill the sperm.


What happens when the failure to the testes descend?

If the testes fail to descend, a condition known as undescended testes or cryptorchidism occurs. This can lead to fertility issues, an increased risk of testicular cancer, and potential hormonal imbalances. Surgery may be required to correct the condition and bring the testes into the scrotum.

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.)


When does sperm fully mature?

Sperm cells fully mature about 60 to 75 days after the sperm descends into the testes. They are then released in order to fertilize the egg.


What is the meaning of descending order?

This means proceeding by decent from an ancestor.


What is the main purpose of a piston?

To compress gases in order to create a controlled expansion of gases thus allowing the piston to descend


Why are the testes contained in a sac?

Most male mammals have testes in an external sac in order to protect their sperm from overheating. Excessive heat can impair sperm, negatively affecting fertility.


Can you eat whole flax seeds, or do they need to be ground for consumption?

Flax seeds need to be ground for consumption in order to fully benefit from their nutrients, as the whole seeds may pass through the digestive system without being fully digested.


What is descend in math?

Descend means to go down. It most often seen when arranging a polynomial in descending powers (from highest power to lowest power). For example, 3x - 4x2 +5 + x3 should be rewritten as x3 - 4x2 +3x +5.


Why does a bull's testicles hang lower from the body than a horse's?

There are two reasons why. First of all, horses are animals that love to run. In order to prevent the testes from getting damaged and bruised from running, they are tucked up closer to the body. Cattle are typically too bulky and heavy to run (though there is no doubt that they are capable of running quite fast), so the testes are allowed to hang down a bit more. The second reason is that the longitudinal length of the testes of a stallion are positioned parallel to the line of the underside of the belly or the ground. This prevents the scrotum from allowing the testes to hang down so much and, anatomically speaking, makes the testes have to be held closer to the body. With a bull, on the other hand, the testes are perpendicular to the ground.
