Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. The temperature in human testis is 2-3 degrees C less than that of body providing a suitable environment for sperm production.
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: -The temperature is controlled by scrotal movement of the testes away or towards the body depending on the environmental temperatures. Moving the testes away from the abdomen and increasing the exposed surface area allow a faster dispersion of excess heat.
