Solution

Testes are paired male reproductive organs (gonads), which produce sperm. During fetal life, tests are formed just below the kidneys inside the abdomino-pelvic cavity. By third fetal month it starts to descend and by the seventh month of fetal life, it passes through the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is a passageway leading to the scrotum. It is the passage in the anterior abdominal wall which conveys the spermatic cord in males.
