The production of sperm requires a lower temperature than body temperature (in mammals) therefore it is necessary for the testies to be removed from the general mass of the body.
cryptorchidism
Cryptoorchidism
The hormone responsible for the descent of the testes into the scrotum during development is called testosterone. It is produced by the testes and plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive organs.
This would be the scrotum. The testicles descend into the scrotum usually within the first few months of life.
The answer is the scrotum, the testis are in the scrotum.
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.
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.
In medical terminology, it is known as cryptorchidism. In the fetal life, testes are abdominal organs from where they descend to scrotum before birth. The common term is "undescended testicle".
The pouch covering the testes is called the scrotum.
If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.
Cryptorchidism is when one or both of the testicles fails to descend into the scrotum. It is also called undescended testicle(s). Uncorrected cryptorchidism can increase the risk of male infertility and testicular cancer.
Cryptochidism- failure of testes to descend from the abdomen (develop there) to scrotum. 1. surgery or hormones to correct 2. sterility is not fixed 3. testes atrophy, potential site of cancer
