Why is the scrotum outside of the body?
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.
How many ball sacks do guys have?
The 'ball sack' in males refers to the scrotum, which is a protuberance of skin and muscle that contains the testicles and is divided by the septum. The purpose of the scrotum is to keep the temperature of the testes slightly lower than the rest of the body. Although men have two testicles, they only have one scrotum.
It is advantageous to have human testes in the scrotum rather than in the abdomen due to?
It's due to the cooling effect of having the testes outside the main portion of the body. Testes need a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body, for ideal functioning. Overheating will reduce fertility.
To rest your body against something for support?

How is heat distributed throoughout the human body?
Through your blood. It is warmed in your core, then pumped to the extremeties. When your body senses the temperature dropping to a point where it cannot keep the blood within it's homeostatic range, it will reduce the bloodflow to the extremeties as they are less significant in maintaining life. This is why your fingers, toes and ears get cold before the rest of your body. It also accounts for hypothermia.
Why is the testes found in the scrotum?
Because sperm function at 35 degrees where as your normal body temp is 36 so the scrotum is meant to keep the sperm slightly cooler then the rest of the body. That is also why when a male becomes cold the scrotum becomes smaller to bring the testes closer to the body to keep them warmer thus keeping the sperm warmer.
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).
Why is the scrotum outside of the body?

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.

How does the body protect sperm from heat?
The sperm keeps it temperature because the ball sack will lower when the body temperature is to warm for the sperm. Although if the air is to cold the ball sack will higher closer to the body and warm up the cold sperms.
Functions of the testicles?
The scrotum is a sac that holds the testes and associated structures. Its functions are to contain and protect the testes and to allow the testes to be cooler than body temperature, as the sperm production is hampered at body temperature, thus inhibiting virility.
Is it true that perm can develop normally only in sightly cooler temperature than normal body temperature?
Yes, it is true that sperm can develop normally only in sightly cooler temperature than normal body temperature. Sperm need a cooler temp than the rest of the body. The scrotum keeps sperm lower than the body, but tight shorts can keep the testicles too warm for the sperm.
Why are the testes located in the scrotum?
Because anywhere else they wouldn't be able to do their job, and if they could it would be highly inefficient.Also they need to be kept cool to produce spearm,so that is why they are located outside of the body in the scrotum.To protect testicles from damage heat or cold. hence they are safe in scrotum.

How far do your balls drop?
It varies from boy to boy and also depends on the temperature and the state of sexual arousal. The testes produce sperm better at a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body so if it is warm the scrotum will tend to hang lower to keep the testes further away from the heat of the body. Colder temperatures and an erection tend to pull the scrotum closer to the body.
Can your ball sack get smaller?
Your scrotum (lets use grown up names, OK?) can get larger or smaller. It changes size with temperature. The testicles need to be cooler than the temperature of the rest of your body- so in warm conditions, the scrotum gets larger, letting the testicles move away from the body. When cold, it draws them in closer.
