PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cremaster muscle is a paired structure made of thin layers of striated and smooth muscle. The muscle name is derived from a Greek word meaning “suspender.” In reality, the muscle has 2 parts, a lateral and medial cremaster muscle.

Detailed explanation-2: -This muscle functions to regulate the temperature of the testis and to protect it from extrinsic trauma. Retraction occurs as a result of low temperature or stimulation of the cutaneous branch of the genitofemoral nerve (inner thigh).

Detailed explanation-3: -The dartos muscle (tunica dartos) is a thin sheet of smooth muscle closely associated with the skin of the scrotum.
