Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Scrotum-this is a loose bag of skin that hangs outside the body, behind the penis. It holds the testes in place.
Detailed explanation-2: -The scrotal wall is a thin layer of skin lined with smooth muscle tissue (dartos fascia). The skin contains more pigment than that of surrounding areas and has many sebaceous (oil-producing) glands and sweat glands, as well as some hair.
Detailed explanation-3: -The epididymis (pronounced: ep-uh-DID-uh-miss) and the testicles hang in a pouch-like structure outside the pelvis called the scrotum. This bag of skin helps to regulate the temperature of testicles, which need to be kept cooler than body temperature to produce sperm.
