Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is the scrotum located outside the body?
A
The lower temperature is essential for sperm production.
B
To protect the testes from abdominal trauma.
C
To keep the testes away from the infective potential of the digestive system.
D
The vas deferens provides a longer pathway for the maturation of sperm.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The scrotum hangs outside the body because it needs to maintain a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body. This lower temperature helps to maintain sperm production. Scrotal tissues help protect the structures inside the testicles, where sperm and important hormones are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -The scrotum is responsible for protecting the testes. It helps with the thermoregulation of the testicles. It keeps the temperature of the testis several degrees below the average body temperature, which is an essential factor for sperm production.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since it’s vitally important to keep sperm from mutating or deforming if you want to have normal offspring, then it would make sense to produce them at lower temperature.
