Question

Name the following:

A canal through which the testes descend into the scrotum just before the birth of a male baby. __________

Answer 1

Inguinal canal:

1. In the embryonic stage, the testes are contained within the abdomen.
2. They descend into the scrotum shortly before birth by the inguinal canal which allows the descent of testes along with their ducts, blood vessels, nerves, etc.
3. An abnormal condition results when they do not descend, and it leads to sterility, i.e., incapability to produce sperms.

A canal through which the testes descend into the scrotum just before the birth of a male baby is called inguinal canal.
